Six members of navy humanitarian team involved in deactivating land mines were wounded by an explosion in Chanthaburi's Pong Nam Ron district, near Cambodia, on Wednesday.

The six were part of a 10-member team scouring a former mine field in a tapioca plantation near Marum village in tambon Khlong Yai on the border with Cambodia.


One of them stepped on a mine.

Of the six, three were seriously wounded. The wounded were admitted to Krungthep Chanthaburi Hospital.

The team was on a mine clearing operation after being informed by planters whose tractor working in the field ran over a mine on June 11. The explosion damaged the tractor and slightly wounded the driver.
