Thai and Cambodian officials say fighting has been quiet for a full day at the border area where the two nation’s troops have exchange gun- and artillery fire for almost two weeks.
Col. Prawit Hukaew, spokesman for Thailand’s 2nd Army Region, told The Associated Press that there has been no fighting since Tuesday evening, marking the first quiet night since clashes began on April 22.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen also said that Tuesday night was the first in which no guns were fired.
Prawit said Thai and Cambodian field commanders met Tuesday inside Cambodia to discuss how to avoid further clashes.
The fighting over small parcels of disputed land has killed at least one Thai civilian and a total of 17 soldiers from both sides.
