Thailand Accuses Cambodia of Violating Ceasefire Agreement

Thailand accused Cambodia of violating a newly signed ceasefire agreement after detecting more than 250 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) flying from the Cambodian side of the border on Sunday night, according to the Thai army. The ceasefire, intended to halt weeks of deadly clashes that displaced nearly one million people, took effect at noon local time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday.

The Thai army said the detection of the UAVs constituted a breach of the agreement, which aimed to freeze front lines, ban reinforcements, and allow civilians to return to border areas as soon as possible. The agreement had been viewed as a breakthrough in de-escalating tensions between the two nations.

The deployment of the UAVs raises concerns about the stability of the fragile peace and highlights the challenges of maintaining the ceasefire. It also raises questions about the role of AI-powered surveillance technology in international conflicts and diplomacy.

Neither the Cambodian government nor military officials have yet responded to the accusations. Further details regarding the specific purpose or capabilities of the detected UAVs were not immediately available. The situation remains tense as both sides monitor the border region.
