Thailand and Cambodia have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire to end deadly border clashes. Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced the agreement Monday after hosting the talks as annual chair of the ASEAN regional bloc, saying the ceasefire comes into effect at midnight local time. Military commanders and officials from both countries will meet to defuse tensions. The clashes began last Thursday after a land mine explosion wounded Thai soldiers. The violence has killed at least 35 people and displaced over 260,000. The ceasefire marks a significant step towards peace and security in the region.
