Cambodia has accused Thai soldiers of entering its territory and laying barbed wire, calling it a clear violation of the recent ceasefire, Xinhua reported.

Defense Ministry spokesperson Lt. Gen. Maly Socheata urged the international community to hold Thailand accountable for what she called a threat to regional peace and Cambodian sovereignty.

Thailand denied the claim, saying the area in question lies within its own territory and accused Cambodia of previous encroachments. Thai forces said they acted to restore order and clear landmines.

A ceasefire between the two sides took effect on July 28 after border clashes earlier that week, according to Xinhua.
