Just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced that both Thailand and Cambodia had agreed to a ceasefire, renewed cross-border attacks were reported on Sunday (July 27), with both sides accusing each other of initiating the violence. The report was carried by Reuters.

According to Cambodian authorities, the country fully supports Trump’s call for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet posted on Facebook that he had clearly communicated to Trump his agreement to halt hostilities between the two nations’ armed forces.

Meanwhile, Thailand expressed gratitude to President Trump but accused Cambodia of targeting civilian areas. Phnom Penh strongly denied these claims, stating that its military actions were strictly defensive.

Cambodia alleged that Thai forces began hostilities early Sunday morning and have been amassing troops along the border. In contrast, Thailand insists it came under attack from Cambodia and responded accordingly.

Before heading to inspect the border areas, Thailand’s interim Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai told reporters that while Thailand does not welcome outside mediation, it appreciates the U.S. president’s concern. He added that Bangkok has proposed bilateral talks between the two countries' foreign ministers to formalize terms for a ceasefire, including withdrawal of troops and long-range weapons.

The conflict, which erupted four days ago, marks one of the worst escalations between the Southeast Asian neighbors in over a decade. So far, over 30 people have been killed—13 in Thailand and 8 civilians in Cambodia—according to official sources.

Authorities also confirmed that more than 200,000 residents from border regions have been displaced due to the ongoing fighting.
