ambodia and Thailand traded accusations of fresh clashes along their border on Wednesday, after Bangkok said it was pausing the implementation of a US-backed peace deal.
Five days of hostilities erupted between Thailand and Cambodia this summer, killing 43 people and displacing around 300,000 before a peace pact backed by US President Donald Trump cooled tensions.
However, Thailand paused implementation of the peace deal on Monday, claiming a blast from a newly laid landmine had wounded four of its soldiers.
Cambodian information minister Neth Pheaktra told AFP "Thai soldiers opened fire on civilians", wounding at least five in Prey Chan village of Banteay Meanchey Province, citing a toll from local authorities.
Richa Suksuwanon, deputy spokesperson of the Royal Thai Army, told reporters that soldiers heard small arms fire from the Cambodian side around 4:00 pm (0900 GMT) but "did not return fire".
"It is believed to be a provocation by the Cambodian side," he said.
