Thai soldiers have been repeatedly injured by landmine blasts near the disputed border with Cambodia amid a fragile ceasefire between the two countries. On August 9, 2025, three Thai soldiers were wounded in a landmine explosion while patrolling in Sisaket province, just days after Thailand and Cambodia agreed to a ceasefire intended to end their deadliest military clashes in decades. This incident marked the third time in a few weeks that Thai soldiers were injured by landmines along the border. Thailand has accused Cambodia of planting new landmines in violation of the ceasefire agreement, allegations that Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Chum Sounry has denied. On August 12, another Thai soldier was injured by a landmine blast, further threatening the peace deal. The ongoing incidents underscore the fragility of the ceasefire and the continuing tensions between the neighboring countries.
