Thailand accuses Cambodia of breaking newly signed ceasefire deal
Thailand's army has accused Cambodia of breaching a newly-signed ceasefire deal reached after weeks of deadly clashes that forced nearly one million people from their homes. In a statement, the Thai army said than more than 250 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were detected flying from the Cambodian side on Sunday night. The ceasefire took effect at noon local time (05:00 GMT) on Saturday. Both sides agreed to freeze the front lines where they are now, ban reinforcements and allow civilians living in border areas to return as soon as possible. It had been seen as a breakthrough, which came after days of talks between both countries, with diplomatic encouragement from China and the US.

Israeli drone attack kills 1 in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire deal
At least one person has been killed in an Israeli drone attack on a vehicle in southern Lebanon, just one day after Israeli troops withdrew from most of the border area. Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported that "an enemy drone struck a vehicle… in the town of Aita al-Shaab" on Wednesday. Sanad, Al Jazeera's fact-checking agency, identified the victim as Yusuf Mohammed Sorour, the son of the mayor of the town, targeted while he was sitting in his car in front of his home. NNA had earlier reported that in a separate attack, one person was wounded in the Wazzani region after Israeli forces opened fire "while residents were inspecting" restaurants and cafes in the area. The NNA also reported Israeli forces shot towards homes near the town of Shebaa.
