BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand will halt all actions it agreed to take under the terms of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal with Cambodia, the country’s prime minister said Monday, just hours after a land mine explosion in the volatile border area injured two Thai soldiers.
Thailand and Cambodia signed a truce agreement at a summit in Malaysia last month, after territorial disputes between the two Southeast Asian neighbors led to a five-day deadly combat in late July that killed dozens.
Tensions have simmered and there have been similar land mine explosions — both before and after the clashes, including one that injured three Thai soldiers patrolling the border zone in August.
