Thai-Cambodian Tensions Flare Amid Ceasefire Violations
Thai and Cambodian militaries engage in ongoing negotiations following alleged ceasefire violations.

Further talks are scheduled to resolve the escalating conflict.
Ongoing negotiations between the Thai and Cambodian militaries highlight the high tensions following Thailand's accusations of Cambodia violating a newly established ceasefire. Despite the agreement, secured after intense fighting had displaced over 300,000 people, accusations have surfaced of Cambodian attacks.
The ceasefire was negotiated in Malaysia this Monday after leaders from both nations agreed to halt hostilities. The deal marked the end of the deadliest conflict between the countries in over a decade and was supposed to transition into peaceful talks at 7 a.m. local time on Tuesday.
Despite the agreement's specifications, the Thai military claimed Cambodian forces engaged at multiple locations, prompting Thai forces to respond in self-defense. Cambodian officials have not yet commented on the accusations. Scheduled negotiations aim to deescalate the intensifying situation.
