Cambodia's Foreign Ministry denied their troops laid the landmines, counter-accused Thai troops of trespassing, and challenged Thailand to take the dispute to the International Court of Justice.

Defence chief warns Myanmar over border clash impacts
Thailand's defence chief, Gen. Ukris Boontanondha, issued a direct warning to Myanmar, asserting that military operations near the border must not impact Thai residents or sovereignty.
The warning came after a meeting with Myanmar's military attaché, emphasizing clear communication to prevent miscalculations amid reports of junta efforts to recapture border posts.
Gen. Ukris underscored Thailand's firm stance: Myanmar's internal affairs are its own, but the absolute safety of Thai citizens and respect for Thai sovereignty are non-negotiable requirements.
