BANGKOK – Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has announced the immediate suspension of a recently signed peace agreement with Cambodia, halting the planned release of 18 captured Cambodian troops. This decisive action comes in response to a landmine explosion that injured four Thai soldiers during a border patrol in Si Sa Ket province on Monday morning.
