A ceasefire has been declared along the Thailand-Cambodia border after weeks of intense fighting and displacement, bringing a temporary halt to the conflict. The truce, driven by military exhaustion and significant humanitarian costs including nearly a million displaced people, is seen as precarious rather than a lasting resolution. Both nations have suffered casualties and reputational damage, leading to guarded language around the agreement, with threats of retaliation for any violations. Diplomatic efforts from external actors played a role in facilitating the pause.
