Thailand Rejects Trump Ceasefire Claim as Fighting With Cambodia Enters Second Week

Thai denial of a deal highlights how fragile outside-brokered truces remain in a border dispute driven by landmine allegations and unresolved maps.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said Thailand will continue military operations until threats subside and denied agreeing to a ceasefire after President Trump’s calls.
  • Cambodia said Thai jets dropped seven bombs in Pursat on Saturday, while Thailand said its air force struck military targets and destroyed two bridges used by Cambodian forces.
  • Heavy exchanges with artillery and BM-21 rocket barrages were reported across multiple border provinces despite recent mediation efforts.
  • Officials report at least about 25 deaths and mass displacement, with AFP citing roughly 800,000 people uprooted and nighttime curfews imposed in Thai border areas.
  • Phnom Penh closed all crossings with Thailand as the October Kuala Lumpur accord—stemming from a July truce—remains suspended by Bangkok over disputed landmine incidents that Cambodia rejects.
