"Both sides signed an expanded truce in Malaysia in October but on Monday Thailand's armed forces chief said that had been halted. The Thai military is halting all agreements until Cambodia can show clear sincerity that they will not be hostile, Thai supreme commander general Ukris Boontanondha was quoted as saying in social media posts by the Thai armed forces."
"Four Thai soldiers were injured when a PMN-2 landmine exploded early on Monday during a patrol in Thailand's Sisaket province, with one losing his right foot, the Thai army said in a statement, adding that three additional mines were found near the blast site. Based on the available evidence, it can be concluded that the landmine was snuck in by removing barbed wire and newly planted on Thai soil, it said."
Thailand suspended implementation of a peace agreement with Cambodia after a landmine blast injured Thai soldiers near the border. US president Donald Trump helped broker the peace deal following a five-day border conflict, and both sides signed an expanded truce in Malaysia in October. The Thai military announced a halt to all agreements until Cambodia demonstrates clear non-hostility. The Thai army reported a PMN-2 landmine explosion in Sisaket province injuring four soldiers, with one losing a right foot, and found three additional mines nearby. Cambodia denied accusations of laying new mines and expressed grave concern over the suspension.
