Cambodia has closed several border crossings with Thailand. The move follows renewed fighting between the two countries' troops.
The clashes center on a disputed area near an ancient temple. Both nations claim ownership of the land.
The border shutdown comes just one day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a breakthrough. He stated that both sides had agreed to a ceasefire deal.
However, continued military engagements on the ground now contradict that claim. The situation has escalated into a serious diplomatic and military incident.
Travel and trade across the affected border points have been suspended until further notice.
