Clashes broke out on the Thai-Cambodian border on Saturday morning, even after US President Trump mediated. He declared that he had won the deal for the ceasefire from both countries.
Thai officials have said they did not agree to a ceasefire, and Cambodia has not commented on Mr Trump’s claim. Its Defense Ministry said Thai jets carried out the airstrikes on Saturday morning. Cambodian media reported Mr. Trump’s claim without clarification.
Thai Foreign Minister Sihasak Phuangketkeow said on Saturday that some of Mr Trump’s statements did not “reflect an accurate understanding of the situation”.
“We regret and are disappointed that some of the points made by President Trump have to do with the sentiment of the people of Thailand, because we consider ourselves – we are proud, in fact – to be the oldest treaty ally of the United States in the region,” he said.
He launched the last large-scale battles a clash on December 7 which injured two Thai soldiers he called off the ceasefire At the urging of Mr. Trump, he ended the five-day standoff in July long-standing territorial disputes.

The July ceasefire was brokered by Malaysia and pushed by pressure from Mr Trump, who threatened to withdraw trade privileges from Thailand and Cambodia unless they agreed. It was formalized in more detail in October at a regional meeting in Malaysia attended by Mr Trump.
About two dozen people are officially reported to have died in the fighting this past week, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced on both sides of the border.
The Thai army admits that 11 of its troops have been killed, and estimates that 165 Cambodian soldiers have been killed. Cambodia has not announced any military casualties, but said at least 11 civilians were killed and 76 wounded.
Mr Trump on Friday after talking To Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, they announced an agreement to resume the ceasefire.
“This evening they have agreed to Cease All Fires Effective, and to return to the original Peace Agreement with me, and they, with the support of the Great Prime Minister of Malaysia, Anwar Ibrahim,” Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post.
Mr Trump’s announcement came just after midnight in Bangkok. Thai Prime Minister Anutin, after a call with Mr Trump, said he had explained Thailand’s reasons for fighting and said peace would depend on Cambodia ceasing aggression as soon as possible. Later, the Thai Foreign Ministry explicitly disputed that Trump’s ceasefire had been reached. Anutin’s busy day on Friday was the dissolution of Parliament, so new elections could be held early next year.

Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet, in comments posted early Saturday morning, also did not mention the ceasefire.
He said he had phone conversations with Mr Trump on Friday night, and Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim a night earlier, and thanked both for their “continuing efforts to achieve lasting peace between Cambodia and Thailand”.
“Cambodia is ready to cooperate in any way necessary,” Hun Manet wrote.
Thailand has carried out airstrikes on what it says are strictly military targets, while Cambodia has fired thousands of medium-range BM-21 missiles, causing havoc but relatively few casualties.
BM-21 rocket launchers can fire 40 rockets simultaneously with a range of 30-40 kilometers (19-25 miles). These rockets cannot be precisely targeted and have largely landed in areas where most people have already been evacuated.
However, the Thai military said on Saturday that a BM-21 rocket had hit a civilian area in Sisaket province, seriously injuring two civilians who had heard warning sirens and ran to a bunker for safety.
