The Thai army has accused Cambodian troops of violating a ceasefire agreement signed between the two countries on Monday, Bloomberg reports.

Military clashes with Cambodia continued until Tuesday morning despite the fact that an unconditional ceasefire between the two parties had been in effect since midnight.

According to Major General Winthai Suwaree, spokesperson for the Royal Thai Army, there had been reports of attacks from several locations since the ceasefire began.

Suwaree accused Cambodia of instigating the incidents. According to him, this country "deliberately violated the agreement and deliberately undermined mutual trust."

Suwaree added that Thailand had been forced to retaliate as part of its legitimate right to self-defense.

He said a joint meeting of Cambodian and Thai army commanders in charge of the border areas had been postponed from 7am to 10am.

At the time of this report, Cambodia had not officially commented on the situation.

Relations between Cambodia and Thailand have deteriorated ever since an armed incident on May 28. That day, Thai soldiers opened fire on a Cambodian military position located in the disputed territory between the Cambodian province of Preah Vihear and the Thai province of Ubon Ratchathani, in Techo Morakot village in Choam Ksan District. One Cambodian soldier was killed and several others were injured in the incident.
