Thailand Says 250 Drones Breached Truce With Cambodia, Testing Ceasefire

Cambodia pledges an immediate review of reported drone activity under Chinese-mediated de‑escalation efforts.

Overview

  • Thailand’s army reported detecting more than 250 unmanned aircraft crossing from Cambodian territory overnight, calling the flights a violation of the truce.
  • Cambodian foreign minister Prak Sokhonn acknowledged drone sightings on both sides and said the issue would be examined and resolved immediately.
  • The neighbors announced an immediate ceasefire on Saturday after roughly three weeks of border fighting along their disputed 800‑kilometre frontier.
  • The truce includes frozen military positions and joint demining commitments, with initial calm reported and some displaced residents cautiously starting to return.
  • At least 47 people were killed and nearly one million displaced in the recent clashes, as China hosts talks with both foreign ministers to shore up the fragile pause in hostilities.
