Thailand hits back hard, says no truce with Cambodia

Thailand's prime minister told reporters his military would keep bombing Cambodian positions until the threat disappears, and he pushed back against claims that both sides agreed to halt fighting. Anutin Charnvirakul posted on social media that operations would continue despite Donald Trump saying he brokered a ceasefire during phone calls with both leaders. Cambodia's defense ministry confirmed that Thai aircraft were still hitting targets and accused them of expanding strikes to civilian areas.

The fighting has displaced over 500,000 people and killed more than 20 since the territorial dispute flared up again this year. A previous truce fell apart after landmines injured Thai soldiers at the border, and the conflict traces back to the 1950s when arguments started over who controlled an ancient temple.
