Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an immediate ceasefire after five days of border fighting that killed at least 33 people and displaced tens of thousands. The agreement, brokered by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, follows intense clashes and escalating tensions. Hostilities will end at midnight. While both sides exchanged gunfire and accusations, the ceasefire marks a crucial step toward de-escalation and peace. Asean will help monitor the ceasefire, and further steps are needed to pull back troops and establish independent monitoring.
