Bangkok : At least one soldier of a Thai army patrol squad were injured while the team entered a disputed area near Thai-Cambodia border and hit a land mine near the controversial Preah Vihear Temple on Tuesday afternoon.
Initial investigation said the captain of the squad was injured on the leg during the blast, a source from the Thai army told Xinhua.
Earlier Tuesday, three Thai protestors were arrested by the Cambodia authorities as they were claimed illegally crossed the border into the Preah Vihear Temple. After the arrests, tensions rise on the border as some reports said dozens of Thai armed personels have entered into the Preah Vihear Temple.
According to Thai local news network The Nation, around 40 black uniformed Thai border guards with guns arrived at the temple and scared tourists with their weapons.
