The Thai army reported exchanging fire with Cambodian forces along their shared border on Tuesday, February 24, accusing Cambodia of violating a December ceasefire. The Thai military stated that Cambodian forces fired a 40mm grenade near a patrol in Sisaket province, prompting a retaliatory response. However, Cambodia vehemently denied these allegations, with the Minister of Information, Neth Pheaktra, calling the claims "totally false" and fabricated with the intent to provoke tensions. He reiterated Cambodia's commitment to the December truce and a prior October ceasefire agreement.
