Thailand and Cambodia agreed to an immediate ceasefire for the second time in six months after the latest round of border clashes killed dozens of soldiers and civilians, while displacing more than half a million others.
The neighboring countries signed a pact on Saturday to end the use of all types of weapons as well as attacks on civilians and infrastructure. Thailand will also return 18 Cambodian soldiers after the ceasefire has been “fully maintained” for 72 hours.
