Cambodia denies violation of ceasefire agreement.

The Cambodian Ministry of National Defense has denied accusations by the Thai army that it attacked Thailand hours after a ceasefire agreement took effect. 

The spokesperson for the Cambodian Ministry of National Defense, Lieutenant General Maly Socheata, maintained that the Cambodian armed forces have strictly implemented the ceasefire, which began at midnight on Monday.

However, Thailand's acting Prime Minister, Phumtham Wechayachai, suggested that small clashes after the ceasefire might have been caused by undisciplined Cambodian soldiers, adding that the Thai side responded proportionately and the situation "is calm now."

The ceasefire agreement was reached to end days of deadly clashes along the border, although the situation remains tense, with both sides maintaining their positions. 

Cambodia and Thailand have a long-standing dispute over border territory, with efforts to broker peace and stability in the region still ongoing.
