Bangkok: Military commanders from Thailand and Cambodia met in person despite Thailand's claim that a ceasefire had been violated overnight—an allegation Cambodia denied, insisting there had been no new fighting. Both nations agreed to halt troop movements to prevent further clashes, following five days of violence that left over 40 people dead and displaced more than 300,000.
According to Deutsche Welle, as the situation calmed, some displaced Thai residents began returning home, though many remained uneasy about the fragile peace. On the Cambodian side, memories of past conflicts—especially the 2011 border clashes—still haunt residents.
