SI SA KET : Two Thai soldiers have been seriously injured after stepping on landmines while patrolling Phu Ma Khua along the Cambodian border.

The incident occurred about 4pm yesterday.

The two were later identified as Sgt Pornpiboon Ngaosuwan and Cpl Sumet Boonsalee of the 16th Infantry Battalion in Yasothon province.

They have been admitted to Kantharalak district hospital in Si Sa Ket province.

Cambodian troops are ignoring Asean’s urgent call for a truce with Thailand by continuing to fire shots in the disputed border area.

Cambodian soldiers yesterday fired three shots in the area where they are trying to expand their presence before the arrival of Indonesian observers today.
