Ceasefire Shattered: New Clashes Erupt Between Cambodia and Thailand
Cambodia violated a ceasefire with multiple attacks, leading to Thai military retaliation, a Thai army spokesman reported. This follows an agreement between Thai and Cambodian leaders to end their most violent conflict in over ten years, which displaced over 300,000 individuals after five days of intense fighting.
Cambodia has reportedly breached a ceasefire agreement by launching attacks on various fronts, as announced by a Thai army spokesman on Tuesday. This comes just a day after the neighboring countries announced intentions to cease hostilities starting at midnight.
Thai military forces responded with proportional force in self-defense, according to a statement made by Major General Winthai Suvaree. The resurgence of violence follows a meeting in Malaysia where leaders from both nations promised to end the deadliest escalation in over ten years, a conflict that uprooted over 300,000 people.
As international attention turns to the region, both countries face mounting pressure to restore peace and stability to their borders, as the recent violence threatens to unravel the fragile pact they had agreed upon.
