Heavy weapons fire pounded the Thai-Cambodian border for an eighth day on Friday as Bangkok denied claims from Phnom Penh of a truce to end the countries’ bloodiest conflict in decades.
The Cambodian defence ministry announced a peace deal on Friday, after clashes on the disputed jungle frontier shattered a previous short-lived ceasefire.
But Colonel Preeda Butraj, a spokesman for the Thai army in the country’s northeast, dismissed suggestions of an agreement.
“I have to say that Cambodia is unreliable and untrustworthy. I don’t know what their statement said but I suggest that we shouldn’t trust it. We have to wait and see what the situation is like day by day,” he said.
