STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- Unit level commanders worked out the hiatus
- Indonesia has offered to help resolve the crisis
- Ancient temples are at the core of the dispute
Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) — Military commanders along the turbulent Thai-Cambodian border agreed to a cease-fire on Thursday, a Thai military source told CNN.
A border dispute that turned violent over the last week remains volatile, and the hiatus was forged at the unit commander level but not the higher levels of the militaries.
The source, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak, said if the peace persists, higher-ranking people may meet on Friday.
They would be Thailand’s 2nd Region commander, Lt. Gen Tawatchai Samutsakorn, and Lt. Gen. Chea Mon, Cambodia’s 5th Army Region commander.
