Thailand and Cambodia have accused each other of violating a ceasefire agreement made on Monday to end border clashes that have killed at least 33 people and displaced thousands. The Thai military claims Cambodia continued to fire at multiple locations, while Cambodia's defence ministry denies any armed clashes since the ceasefire. The conflict escalated after a series of incidents, including a landmine explosion that injured Thai soldiers and rocket attacks by Cambodia that killed civilians. A meeting between local commanders took place, and both sides agreed to stop shooting and allow the collection of their dead. The dispute over their shared border has a long history, dating back to 2008 when Cambodia registered an 11th-century temple as a Unesco World Heritage Site, prompting protests from Thailand.

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an 'immediate and unconditional' ceasefire after deadly border clashes that killed at least 35 people and displaced over 260,000. The clashes were sparked by a long-standing dispute over border areas, particularly around the Preah Vihear temple. The tensions escalated after a Cambodian soldier was killed in May, leading to a diplomatic crisis. The ceasefire was agreed upon during talks between Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet and acting Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai in Malaysia, facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and influenced by US President Donald Trump's call for peace.
