BANGKOK, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Thailand's military said it was considering blocking fuel exports to Cambodia, as fighting between the two countries spread to coastal areas of a disputed border region two days after U.S. President Donald Trump said the sides had agreed to a new ceasefire.

Cambodia’s Ministry of Interior on Tuesday accused Thailand of causing extensive damage to civilian infrastructure during ongoing cross-border attacks, saying the assaults have crippled public services and forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes.

Fighting that has flared along the Thai-Cambodian border has sent hundreds of thousands of Thai villagers fleeing from their homes close to the frontier since Monday. Their once-bustling communities have fallen largely silent except for the distant rumble of firing across the fields.

Thailand was set for an earlier than expected election after its king endorsed Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's bid to dissolve parliament on Friday, as a border conflict with Cambodia raged and the government moved to head off a no-confidence vote.

SINGAPORE: Singapore has called on Thailand and Cambodia to exercise restraint and for both sides to resolve their differences through dialogue amid escalating border clashes.

Some of the peace deals that Trump claims to have struck have “simply unraveled,” said NPR. The president hailed a so-called peace accord between Thailand and Cambodia in October, but the border dispute between the two countries “flared up again” a month later,
