Thailand again accuses Cambodia of planting land mines
When the Thai army stepped into a land mine in the region on the Cambodian border, three Thai soldiers who patrolled were wounded.
The incident arrived only two days after the two countries confirmed their commitment to the ceasefire to end a short armed conflict.
The army’s statement clearly showed that the incident occurred in Thailand’s Sisaken state, “both domestic and international society, the use of secret weapons in the border areas, and the Ottawa congress was clearly violated to the Cambodian side,” he said.
The OTTAWA Congress, also called the Personnel Mineral Treaty, is an international agreement that prohibits the use of weapons, and both Thailand and Cambodia have committed it.
Thai Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the incident confirmed that the Thai Army was “thrown on the open violation of international law of new terrain mines”.
He also stated that this was the third event in less than a month.
Last month, a five -day armed conflict began, killed dozens of people on both sides, including civilians, and became more than 260,000 displaced.
He fought a day after the five Thai soldiers were wounded in the controversial region when he was wounded.
A ceasefire, which came into force on July 29, ended the great struggle despite the high tension.
The two countries decided to agree on a meeting in Malaysia on Thursday, a 13 -point agreement on implementing the ceasefire.
Spokesman Major General Winthai Suvaree refers to the Tayland Army statement, Saturday’s mine explosion “cease -fire measures and a peaceful solution to the peaceful solution of the problems” claimed.
A statement published by the Cambodian mine action and the victim aid authority rejected Thailand’s claim that Cambodia has put new mines.
“We are not planting new land mines and we will not, dedi he said in a statement that Cambodia is a party to the Parternel Anti-Maz Treaty Agreement, and it has an internationally recognized record, although it distributes weapons that do not discriminate. “
Cambodia has left more than one million minerals and about three million other exploded ammunitions from more than thirty years of war and civil unrest, which began in 1970.
Cambodia claimed that the two explosions that wounded the Thai troops last month could be land mines from past conflicts.
Since May this year, a Cambodian soldier was boiled when he was shot and killed by the Thai troops in another controversial border region.
Increasing dispute was marked with border crossing restrictions and cross -border boycotts and prohibitions before the war.
In the incident on Saturday, the Thai Sergeant Major was subjected to serious injuries, including losing his left foot, and two privileges were injured in the Thai army statement.
