This is the bizarre moment Cambodian soldiers walked like ducks during military training.

Footage shows the new recruits quacking and honking as they waddled on bent legs during the strange early morning exercise.

The Tha military said on Wednesday the cadets were made to duck walk some 262ft (80m).

The drill was held as Thailand and Cambodia agreed to de-escalate military weapons at the border, clear landmines, and partially re-open border crossings during the General Border Committee meeting on September 10.

A bloody military confrontation flared in long-disputed border areas as Thailand and Cambodia accused each other of instigating the violence on July 24.

The Thai army claimed the clash began when six armed Cambodian soldiers approached a Thai outpost after a drone was heard near a disputed Khmer temple. Thai troops said they shouted warnings and claimed the Cambodians opened fire first.

However, Cambodia's Defence Ministry accused Thailand of provoking the violence, saying its forces acted in self-defence.

Officials said that dozens of people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced on both sides of the border.

Both sides have reached a shaky truce following talks facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
