Fighting broke out last week on the border between Thailand and Cambodia, leading to the deaths of at least 33 people and causing thousands of people to leave their homes. The exact border between the two countries has been disputed for many years. There are some areas which both countries claim to be theirs. Tensions between the countries have risen over recent months. After an armed confrontation in May, each country imposed border restrictions, while Cambodia banned some imports from Thailand.
Following diplomatic efforts from Malaysia and President Trump, both sides agreed to a ceasefire on Monday. But Thailand's military has accused Cambodia of continuing to fire on their troops. Cambodia has denied this. Later on Tuesday, Thailand's Acting Prime Minister Bum Tam Wai Ju Yoo Chai said that there had been no escalation of fighting. However, there were also reports of Cambodian troops firing on Thailand on Wednesday morning.
