Thailand demands apology from Cambodia over landmine

Thailand has demanded an apology from Cambodia after accusing it of laying fresh landmines that have injured Thai soldiers, a day after Bangkok suspended a ceasefire pact brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump.



Cambodia denies the charge that it has laid new mines, including one that exploded on Monday and maimed one Thai soldier during a patrol along the disputed border between the two countries, reigniting tensions after a five-day conflict in July.



The fighting ended after telephone calls to Thai and Cambodian leaders by Trump, who also presided over the signing of an enhanced truce agreement in Malaysia last month.



At least 48 people were killed and an estimated 300,000 temporarily displaced during the clashes, which saw the exchange of rocket fire, heavy artillery and airstrikes.
