Thailand-Cambodia border conflict

Thailand: Cambodia broke the ceasefire five times

Thailand's army accuses Cambodia of violating the ceasefire, which came into effect at midnight local time, on at least five occasions. This is denied by Cambodia, international news agencies report.

A planned meeting between army chiefs had to be postponed for three hours, from 02:00 to 05:00 Swedish time.

Thai Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, however, downplays his own army's claims after a conversation with Cambodia's defense minister.

- There is no escalation. Right now it is calm, he tells reporters, according to AP.

Both countries claim the area. The background is a vague border demarcation by the French colonial power in 1907.
