BANGKOK (Reuters) -Thailand has recalled its ambassador to Cambodia and will expel Cambodia's ambassador, the ruling Pheu Thai party said on Wednesday following a new landmine incident that injured a Thai soldier along the countries' disputed border.

The Thai foreign ministry has lodged a formal protest with Cambodia, saying the landmines found in the area were newly deployed and had not been encountered during previous patrols, the party said on social media.

Cambodia’s government did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
