A Thai soldier lost his left foot and suffered shrapnel wounds after stepping on an antipersonnel mine during a technical survey in Sa Kaeo province, marking the 13th time a Thai soldier has lost a limb to a landmine since the border conflict with Cambodia began in 2025, the Bangkok Post reported on July 29. The Thai army described the explosion as an accident and urged clearance teams to exercise greater caution, contrasting with previous incidents in which Bangkok accused Cambodia of illegally laying new mines and downgraded diplomatic relations or suspended certain ceasefire measures.
