US EditionThai soldiers injured by landmine near Cambodia amid fragile ceasefire
- Three Thai soldiers were injured on August 9, 2025, after stepping on a landmine during a patrol near the Cambodia border in Sisaket province.
- The incident followed a ceasefire last week after violent clashes last month and occurred shortly after Cambodia and Thailand agreed to neutral ceasefire monitoring.
- Thailand stated that the explosion occurred on territory where landmines had been removed shortly before, accused Cambodia of breaching the Ottawa Convention, and shared images of Cambodian PMN2 landmines discovered in Pumakhua.
- Gen. Winthai Suvaree called the blast a "significant obstacle" to peace, while Cambodia denied new mines were laid and said it respects the ceasefire's spirit.
- The incident threatens the fragile ceasefire and underscores unresolved disputes along the roughly 800-kilometer border defined by colonial-era treaties.
