Cambodia closed all its border crossings with Thailand until further notice on Saturday as hostilities continued along the frontier.

The move comes as border clashes between the Southeast Asian nations have continued, despite US President Donald Trump saying Friday that they had agreed to a ceasefire.

"The Royal Government of Cambodia has decided to fully suspend all entry and exit movements at all Cambodia-Thailand border crossings, effective immediately and until further notice,"  the Cambodian Interior Ministry said in a statement.

The announcement comes after Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said that his country would keep up military strikes on Cambodia until it no longer felt under threat from its neighbor, telling local media there was no ceasefire in place.

Anutin wrote on Facebook that Thailand would "continue to perform military actions until we feel no more harm and threats to our land and people," after telling reporters it was Cambodia that should first stop its attacks.

"I want to make it clear. Our actions this morning already spoke," he said.

Thai newspaper Khaosod cited Anutin as saying "there are no ceasefire negotations, and it is not yet the time for that." At the same time, the paper reported Anutin as saying "there is a lot of communication going on."

Multiple deaths amid reignited territorial dispute

The recent cross-border clashes, which come after a long-running territorial dispute reignited this year, have displaced more than 500,000 people and killed more than 20 people, including several civilians, with hundreds more wounded, officials say.

Anutin's statements come a day after Trump said that both countries had agreed to stop fighting, following days of clashes along their shared 800 kilometer (nearly 550 mile) border. Trump has been mediating the conflict. 

Thailand says four more of its soldiers were killed on Saturday in renewed clashes at the border, with the Defense Ministry saying the fatalities brought the death toll among Thai troops to 14 since fighting erupted on Monday.

Cambodia confirms strikes

Cambodia's Defense Ministry also said in a post on Facebook that "Thai forces have not stopped the bombing and is still continuing the bombing."

Its information minister, Neth Pheaktra, said Thai forces had "expanded their attacks to include civilian infrastructure and Cambodian civilians," something denied by Thailand.

Royal Thai Air Force spokesman Chakkrit Thammavichai said Thai forces were "using high-precision weapons to prevent the damage on innocent civilians."

Malaysia PM seeking new ceasefire

Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, in a post on X, said he was urging a new ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia which would start from Saturday at 22:00 local time (UTC+7). Ibrahim said he spoke with both Thai Prime Minister Anutin and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet. 

"To support deescalation and promote transparency, I have requested the deployement of the ASEAN Observer Team (AOT), led by the Malaysian Chief of Defense Forces, to monitor developments on the ground," Anwar said, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. "This mission will be complemented by satellite monitoring capabilities provided by the United States Government, commencing at the same time."

Cambodia's official state news agency, Agence Kumpuchea Presse, reported that PM Hun welcomed Anwar's proposal for a ceasefire starting on Saturday evening.   

Long-running Thai-Cambodian border dispute

A ceasefire was last brokered in July by the US, China and Malaysia after five days of clashes, which was followed by a declaration by the warring parties to prolong the truce.

However, the agreement was suspended in November after landmines injured Thai soldiers at the border.

The border dispute dates back to the 1950s, shortly after Cambodia gained independence from France, and first centered on the disputed ownership of the ancient Hindu Preah Vihear temple before enlarging to include other border areas.
