Thai-Cambodian Truce Tested as Monitors Head to Disputed Border.

The article focuses on the recent border tensions between Thailand and Cambodia, where Thailand accused Cambodian troops of unprovoked attacks that violate a ceasefire agreement. The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that their military positions were targeted by small arms fire and grenades, while Cambodia's defense ministry denied any new clashes and reaffirmed its commitment to the ceasefire. Following five days of deadly fighting that resulted in over 40 deaths and significant displacement, international observers are set to visit the border to monitor the situation.
