BANGKOK, Aug 9, (Xinhua): Three Thai soldiers were injured in a landmine explosion on Saturday morning during a patrol operation along the Thai-Cambodian border, the Thai Army said. In a statement issued by Thailand's Second Army Region, the incident occurred at around 10:00 a.m. local time, when Thai troops were conducting a patrol and laying barbed wire to reinforce border security.

All injured soldiers were promptly evacuated and transported to a local hospital for treatment, the Thai Army said. Armed clashes broke out on July 24 between soldiers of Cambodia and Thailand along their disputed border, with both sides accusing each other of violating international law.

On Aug 7, Cambodia and Thailand reached a consensus on the details of a ceasefire and signed an agreement at an extraordinary meeting of the General Border Committee held in Malaysia. Both sides agreed to maintain current troop deployments and not to increase forces along the border.
