Thailand, Cambodia Implement Immediate Ceasefire Amid Deadly Border Clashes

Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire along their disputed border following deadly clashes that resulted in over 30 deaths and displaced hundreds of thousands. The ceasefire, which took effect at midnight, was mediated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, with significant diplomatic pressure from US President Donald Trump, who linked the ceasefire to ongoing tariff negotiations. Despite the ceasefire, both sides have maintained their stance of not conceding any territorial rights, with the longstanding dispute over areas such as the Preah Vihear Temple remaining unresolved. The agreement was welcomed by the leaders of both countries, who expressed hope for restoring peace and rebuilding trust between their nations. Military commanders and government officials from both sides are expected to continue discussions to ease tensions and address border issues. The ceasefire marks a critical step toward regional stability after the bloodiest border violence in over a decade.
