The ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia seems to be holding – largely at least.

The precarious ceasefire in the border region between Thailand and Cambodia appears to be largely holding. A reporter from Channel News Asia reported from the region that no artillery fire had been heard since the ceasefire came into effect on Tuesday night. Before that, there had been five days of heavy fighting.

Thailand, however, continues to accuse its neighbor of violating the agreement. Cambodian forces attacked Thai military positions in Phu Makua, Sisaket Province, with small arms and grenades, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry in Bangkok.

Cambodia, however, rejected the accusations. Such false allegations jeopardize "the fragile trust and the dialogue necessary for lasting peace," according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry in Phnom Penh.

The heads of government of the two Southeast Asian neighbors agreed on an "immediate and unconditional" ceasefire at a meeting in Malaysia on Monday. Representatives from the United States and China also participated in the talks, led by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. Malaysia holds the presidency of the Southeast Asian Nations Association (ASEAN) this year. Previously, US President Donald Trump, in particular, had pushed for a swift ceasefire.

Since last Thursday, heavy fighting has erupted along the more than 800-kilometer-long border between the two Southeast Asian neighbors. There have been deaths and injuries on both sides, mostly civilians. According to authorities, more than 200,000 people have been displaced. Hundreds of thousands of Cambodians living in Thailand as migrant workers have flocked back home.

The conflict between the two neighboring countries has been simmering for decades. Both sides accused each other of triggering the violence. What exactly led to the escalation remains unclear.

Military leaders confirmed the ceasefire at a meeting on the border on Tuesday. Talks between the defense ministers of both countries are planned for early next week in Cambodia.
