Surin: A soldier identified as Sergeant Theerapol, who suffered a leg amputation after stepping on a landmine, is currently showing signs of recovery.

According to Thai News Agency, the landmine incident, which resulted in the loss of Sergeant Theerapol’s left leg, occurred due to an anti-personnel mine allegedly planted by the Cambodian side. He is now receiving treatment, and his condition is gradually improving.

In response to the incident, Surin Hospital has been actively engaging with the community to secure necessary blood donations. Since the morning of the incident, a significant number of public members, along with students and hospital staff, have donated blood type AB for Sergeant Theerapol.
