PREAH VIHEAR, Cambodia: Thai schools closed and nervous Cambodian residents dug bunkers or evacuated homes Monday before a United Nations (UN) ruling on which country owns land surrounding an ancient temple, an issue which has sparked deadly clashes.
At least 28 people have been killed in outbreaks of violence since 2011 over the ownership of a patch of border land next to the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple.
