A ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia appeared to largely be holding on Tuesday as military commanders from both countries met for negotiations, even as the Thai army accused Cambodian troops of violating the truce overnight.

Thai and Cambodian leaders are meeting in Malaysia in an urgent effort to resolve deadly border clashes that entered a fifth day despite mounting international calls for peace.

The Thai army said in a statement that Cambodia had conducted attacks at multiple locations early on Tuesday in violation of the ceasefire and Thailand had retaliated proportionately in self defence.
