Armed clashes between Thailand and Cambodia entered a second day on Tuesday, both sides said, in defiance of calls from the United States to stop fighting and adhere to a months-old Trump-brokered peace deal that now looks on the brink of complete collapse.

The Royal Thai Army says there will be no ceasefire “until Cambodia ceases its hostilities and attacks against Thai troops and civilians in the border area”

Fighting has flared up several times this year since a Cambodian soldier was killed in a May skirmish, as decades-old tensions over the border territory persist.

Bangkok — Thailand’s Parliament was dissolved Friday for new elections early next year as the country engaged in deadly fighting with Cambodia.
