- A patrol in Sisaket’s Huai Ta Maria area triggered a PMN-2 blast that severed one soldier’s foot and injured three others, with three additional mines found nearby, according to the Royal Thai Army.
- Bangkok postponed the return of 18 Cambodian detainees and is preparing a formal protest, with officials also demanding an apology and safeguards to prevent further incidents.
