A landmine explosion on the contested Thai-Cambodia border that has threatened to derail a US-brokered truce will be investigated by Asean observers, Thailand said, after Malaysia’s Foreign Minister said a regional team had reported that mines found at the site of the incident were new.
Thailand has suspended the ceasefire deal and demanded an apology from Cambodia after accusing it of laying fresh PMN-2 landmines, one of which maimed a Thai soldier on Monday in Kantharalak district of Thailand’s Sisaket province, which is opposite Cambodia’s province of Preah Vihear.
