The original ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia had been brokered earlier this year in July.

Overview

  • President Donald Trump said both prime ministers agreed to "cease all shooting" Friday and revert to the October Kuala Lumpur accord after his calls with them.
  • Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters there was no ceasefire, urging Trump to press Cambodia to cease fire, withdraw troops and remove landmines.
  • Neither Thailand nor Cambodia independently confirmed Trump’s announcement as border clashes entered a fifth day.
  • This week’s fighting has killed at least 20 people, wounded about 260 and displaced roughly half a million, according to tallies from both countries.
  • Exchanges have included rocket and artillery fire across multiple sectors and increased Thai airstrikes, with both sides trading blame for reigniting the long-running dispute.
