Thailand's army accused Cambodian troops of violating an unconditional ceasefire, a claim contradicted by Phnom Penh, underscoring the challenges of enforcing the truce on the ground following five days of deadly border clashes.

He also blamed Cambodia of 'deliberate violation of the agreement and an intentional act to undermine mutual trust.'
