Thailand blames Cambodia after troops injured by landmines
Government officials in Thailand say three soldiers have been injured by landmines, and they're pointing the finger at Cambodia.
They say the troops were patrolling along a disputed border area between the two countries on July 16th. They say one sustained a serious leg injury.
The officials say the landmines were made in Russia and recently planted by Cambodia. They accuse their neighbor of violating a treaty banning the explosive devices.
The Cambodian government dismissed the allegations as baseless and unfounded.
The two countries exchanged fire in May along the disputed border area. One Cambodian soldier died.
