Thailand has accused Cambodia of deliberately violating a newly established ceasefire aimed at halting violent border clashes that have resulted in significant casualties and displacements. The ceasefire, agreed upon on Monday, followed five days of bombardments and attacks, killing at least 33 individuals. The Thai military reported that while its forces stopped attacking after midnight, sporadic gunfire from Cambodia continued into the morning. In stark contrast, Cambodia's defense ministry asserted that no armed conflict occurred post-ceasefire. Local commanders were set to meet as part of the agreement, but this has been postponed multiple times, exacerbating the uncertainty. Tensions between the two nations, rooted in a century-old border dispute, heightened significantly following a series of deadly confrontations, including the deaths of Cambodian and Thai soldiers. The situation worsened after a recent landmine incident injured Thai troops, leading to reciprocal military actions. High-profile diplomatic meetings have attempted to mitigate the conflict, with both sides agreeing to independent monitoring and de-escalation protocols. However, escalating military deployments and mutual border restrictions threaten further destabilization in the region.
