Thailand has accused Cambodia of violating a newly established ceasefire agreement, reached after weeks of deadly clashes that displaced nearly one million people. The Thai army reported detecting over 250 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying from the Cambodian side on Sunday night, which they consider a provocation and violation of the agreement. The ceasefire, intended to freeze front lines and allow civilians to return, was implemented on Saturday following diplomatic efforts from China and the US. Thailand stated it may reconsider releasing 18 Cambodian soldiers and will act accordingly if violations continue. Cambodia has yet to respond to the accusations. The dispute between the two countries is long-standing, with recent tensions escalating after a clash in May and the collapse of a previous ceasefire earlier this month.
