SISAKET, Thailand/PHNOM PENH (Reuters) -Cambodia and Thailand each said the other had launched artillery attacks across contested border areas early on Sunday, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump said the leaders of both countries had agreed to work on a ceasefire.

Cambodia said it fully endorsed Trump's call for an immediate ceasefire. Thailand said while it was grateful to the U.S. President, it could not begin talks while Cambodia was targeting its civilians, a claim that Phnom Penh has denied.
