Tensions remain high between Thailand and Cambodia following a deadly border conflict, just days after announcing a ceasefire.

Thailand had accused Cambodian troops of violating the ceasefire agreement following attacks some hours after the signing. Authorities in Phnom Pehn denied the charge and instead accused the Thai military of detaining 18 of its soldiers. 

Both countries have continued to argue over which side is accountable for breaching laws of war.
