The decades-old border dispute between the Southeast Asian neighbours erupted into military clashes several times last year, with fighting in December killing dozens of people and displacing more than one million on both sides.
The two countries agreed a truce on December 27, pledging to freeze troop movements and end the three weeks of clashes.
On Friday, Cambodia’s Information Minister Neth Pheaktra said the Thai military had started an “illegal annexation of Cambodian territory into Thailand, especially at Chouk Chey village”.
The Thai army, without mentioning any specific locations, said in a statement it had taken control of areas that had always belonged to Thailand but were “occupied” by Cambodia.
The Cambodian minister said Thai forces had damaged civilian buildings, installed barbed wire and shipping containers to create a “border fence”, and deployed to administer disputed areas.
