Thailand's army has accused Cambodia of breaching a newly-signed ceasefire deal reached after weeks of deadly clashes that forced nearly one million people from their homes. In a statement, the Thai army noted that more than 250 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were detected flying from the Cambodian side on Sunday night. The ceasefire took effect at noon local time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday, with both sides agreeing to freeze front lines, ban reinforcements, and allow civilians in border areas to return. This truce was seen as a significant breakthrough after extensive diplomatic efforts by China and the US. However, the Thai army warned that Cambodia's actions 'constitute provocation and a violation of measures aimed at reducing tensions' and suggested that they might need to reconsider the fate of 18 Cambodian soldiers currently held in Thailand. The situation remains precarious, with Cambodia yet to issue a comment.

In a shocking turn, Thailand's army has accused Cambodia of violating a recently signed ceasefire agreement amidst ongoing border conflicts. This has raised new concerns over stability in the region.
Just days after a ceasefire was established to end weeks of violent clashes that displaced nearly a million people, Thailand's army reported that over 250 unmanned aerial vehicles were spotted flying from Cambodia's side, suggesting a breach of the agreement. The ceasefire, praised by both China and the USA, aimed to freeze front lines and enable civilians to return home. Thailand's army has warned of potential consequences if these violations continue, although Cambodia has yet to respond.
