Tensions between Thailand and Cambodia erupted into deadly clashes in July 2025, triggered by two landmine incidents near their disputed border. On July 16, a Thai soldier lost his leg after stepping on a landmine, followed by another explosion on July 23 that injured multiple soldiers. The mines, reportedly PMN-2 Soviet-era anti-personnel devices, were suspected by Thailand to be newly planted, violating the Ottawa Convention. Cambodia denied the allegations, citing environmental factors and legacy mines from past conflicts. Fighting from July 24–27 involved artillery and airstrikes, leaving at least 15 dead. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire ended hostilities, but tensions remain.
