Cambodia Calls Border Strike 'Accident', Thailand's Truce Holds Amid Tensions
- •Cambodia claims recent mortar strike, which wounded a Thai soldier, was accidental, not a ceasefire violation.
- •The incident occurred in a disputed border area in Thailand's Ubon Ratchathani province, injuring one Thai soldier.
- •Thailand warned Cambodia of defensive countermeasures if such "operational errors" recur.
- •A truce agreed on December 27 ended three weeks of fighting, but decades-long border tensions persist.
- •Cambodia proposed a bilateral meeting in Siem Reap, but Thailand awaits its February 8 elections for discussions.
Why It Matters: Cambodia attributes border strike to accident; Thailand maintains truce but warns of future action.
