The Thai military reported that while it ceased fire at midnight, it continued to face gunfire from Cambodian forces, contradicting Cambodia's claims of no clashes since the agreement. The ceasefire, which follows intense conflict including air strikes and civilian casualties, aims to stabilize the long-disputed border. Tensions have simmered for decades, fueled by historical claims stemming from colonial-era border definitions and disputes over significant cultural sites. Both nations have seen their ties deteriorate sharply due to ongoing military confrontations and mutual distrust, heightening the risk of broader conflict.

As the situation unfolds with postponed local commander meetings and potential monitoring, concerns abound regarding the sustainability of this latest ceasefire agreement.
