After five days of intense border fighting that killed 35 people and displaced over 200,000, Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire. The breakthrough came during mediation talks in Malaysia, led by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. The conflict, centered around disputed jungle territory with ancient temples, saw heavy artillery and accusations of cluster bomb use. Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s intervention and tariff threats added pressure for resolution. Despite ongoing distrust and sporadic shelling, both nations committed to peace talks. The ceasefire will take effect at first light on July 29, marking a critical moment for regional stability. (PC: Reuters & The Telegraph)
