Three Thai soldiers on patrol were wounded Saturday when one stepped on a land mine in territory along the border with Cambodia, Thailand’s army announced. The incident came just two days after the two countries reaffirmed their adherence to a ceasefire to end a brief armed conflict.

Long-simmering tensions between Thailand and Cambodia escalated to deadly violence on July 24, setting off five days of military clashes at multiple spots along the roughly 800-kilometer (500 mile) border.

BANGKOK/PHNOM PENH,July 28 (Reuters) - A ceasefire between Cambodia and Thailand came into effect at midnight (1700 GMT) on Monday, hours after they agreed to halt their deadliest conflict in more than a decade following five days of intense fighting that displaced over 300,000 people.

Thailand and Cambodia have organized border visits for foreign diplomats to observe the damage from recent clashes.

Saturday’s incident is the third time in a few weeks that Thai soldiers have been injured by mines while patrolling along the border.
