  • Thai Supreme Commander Gen. Ukris Boontanondha said he is halting all agreements until Cambodia shows clear non-hostility.
  • Four Thai soldiers were injured in Sisaket’s Kantharalak district, including one who lost his right foot, and three additional mines were found nearby.
  • Thailand lodged complaints with an ASEAN observer team and will brief the United States and Malaysia, as officials now demand an apology and preventive steps before resuming the pact.
