Cambodia-Thailand clashes resume despite ceasefire call

Shafaq News – Bangkok/Phnom Penh

Fresh clashes erupted along the Cambodia–Thailandborder on Sunday, just hours after US President Donald Trump claimed bothnations had agreed to pursue a ceasefire.

    Cambodia’s Defense Ministry accused Thai forces ofshelling temple areas near Phnom Kmoach in Trat province, while Thailandalleged Cambodian troops targeted civilians in overnight artillery strikes.

    The escalation has killed more than 30—mostlycivilians—and displaced over 130,000 since fighting began on July 24.

    Trump announced on Truth Social late Saturday that hesecured verbal pledges from both countries' prime ministers to meet“immediately” for truce talks, asserting that “both Parties are looking for animmediate Ceasefire and Peace.”

    Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet backed theinitiative, urging an unconditional ceasefire and endorsing a prior Malaysianpeace proposal. In turn, Thai Acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachairesponded cautiously, agreeing “in principle” but demanding proof of Cambodia’ssincerity before committing to talks.

    The conflict was reignited by a fatal May 28 borderclash that killed a Cambodian soldier near the disputed Preah Vihear templearea.

    Although the International Court of Justice awardedthe temple to Cambodia in 1962, ownership of the surrounding land remainscontested and has fueled repeated outbreaks of violence, including a deadlyflare-up in 2011.
