BANGKOK, Thailand -- Thailand and Cambodia reaffirmed their shaky ceasefire violation after days of fighting along their border, as China stepped into negotiate with the two countries.

The Thai army has accused its Cambodian counterpart of violating the ceasefire, which was intended to end a fierce five-day border conflict.

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.
