A Thai military statement issued late Wednesday listed seven alleged hostile actions and truce violations by Cambodia. The statement condemned "these reckless and irresponsible actions by Cambodian forces and reaffirms Thailand’s adherence to peace, restraint, and humanitarian principles.”

First came a push from the Malaysian premier, then China reached out, but it was only after President Donald Trump called Thailand's leader last week that Bangkok agreed to talks with Cambodia to end an escalating military conflict.

Tensions along Cambodia's northern border with Thailand have been simmering since May, when a Cambodian soldier was killed in a clash with Thai forces.
