Thailand said it will continue military action against Cambodia to eliminate “harm and threats,” stepping up rhetoric even after US President Donald Trump claimed to have brokered a new ceasefire.

Fighting entered its seventh day across the two countries’ disputed border. Thailand said Cambodia has been attacking and firing rockets into civilian areas since Friday night and into Saturday morning, prompting Thailand to respond with an assault on military targets.
