BANGKOK: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has launched diplomatic actions under the Anti-Personnel Mine Ban Convention (Ottawa Convention) in response to three recent landmine incidents involving Thai military personnel, which it says were caused by mines newly planted by Cambodian forces.
The incidents occurred on July 16, July 23, and August 9, 2025, in the Chong Bok area and Chong An Ma area of Ubon Ratchathani Province, and the Chong Don Ao–Krisana area of Kantharalak District, Si Sa Ket Province. Eleven Thai soldiers were seriously injured.
