Cambodia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs have said that they have not been mining the Thai-Cambodian border
The statement was made after Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman Thani Thongphakdi, claimed a Thai soldier had lost a leg to a recently laid Cambodian Landmine.
"It is extremely sad and disturbing that such a baseless accusation is made against Cambodia, when mine explosion is still a common occurrence, even in places inhabited or cultivated for years after the war ended," read the statement.
That makes sense; not even an out-of-control military would stoop this low. And the Thai claim isn't backed with any evidence at all.
'Antipersonnel mines and cluster munitions are indiscriminate weapons that injure and kill civilians in every corner of the globe, every day. They don't recognize ceasefires and claim victims long after the end of conflicts. They instill fear in communities and are a lethal barrier to development.'
