As Thai and Cambodian officials meet in Kuala Lumpur to strengthen a fragile ceasefire, tensions remain high along their disputed border. Despite a truce brokered by Malaysia on July 28, both sides have accused each other of violations while continuing troop buildups, Al Jazeera reported.

Thai lawmaker Wasawat Puangpornsri, visiting the Nam Yuen border district, reported forces from both nations positioned just 50 metres apart. The standoff has stalled the return of 20,000 displaced Thai residents.

Locals remain on alert following deadly clashes in July, with many still sheltering and mourning losses. Officials continue damage assessments as fears of renewed fighting persist.
