Thailand said Saturday it was continuing military strikes against Cambodia despite US President Donald Trump saying the countries had agreed to stop fighting after calls with him.

Renewed clashes between the Southeast Asian neighbours, which stem from a long-running dispute over the colonial-era demarcation of their 800-kilometre (500-mile) border, broke out this month and have displaced around half a million people on both sides.

Each side blamed the other for reigniting the conflict -- which has killed at least 20 people this week -- but there were signs that tensions might be easing when Trump said a truce had been agreed.
