A Chinese national was injured by a landmine explosion on Saturday, November 29, at the Thailand-Cambodia border. According to a statement from the Chinese embassy in Thailand, the individual's condition is stable.
The embassy immediately contacted Thai authorities and coordinated full support for the victim's treatment. They will continue to maintain close communication with the hospital and local officials to ensure all necessary assistance.
This incident highlights ongoing risks in border areas still affected by historical landmines. Teams from the Cambodian Mine Action Center have been working since July 2025 to detect and clear explosives, aiming to protect both residents and visitors.
Travel experts recommend staying on marked routes, following local warnings, and registering with embassies when visiting border regions. The Chinese embassy reminds nationals in Thailand or planning to travel there to abide by immigration laws and stay alert to safety notices. In case of emergency, Chinese nationals can contact the Chinese embassy or consulate in Thailand for assistance.
