Mexico at no risk of US military intervention, Sheinbaum says
Earlier on Friday, The New York Times reported that U.S. President Donald Trump had signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels.
Sheinbaum said her government had been informed of a coming order but that it had nothing to do with the U.S. military operating on Mexican soil.

Syria will not take part in meetings with Kurdish-led SDF in Paris, state TV says
(Reuters) -Syria will not take part in planned meetings with Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in Paris, Syria's state news agency SANA quoted a government source as saying on Saturday. The source cited an earlier forum arranged by the U.S.-backed SDF that it said was a violation of an accord between the government and the group. The source was quoted as saying that Damascus would not be involved in negotiations with any side that aims to "revive the era of the former region". (Reporting by Menna Alaa El-Din and Ahmed Tolba.

Landmine blast wounds Thai soldiers on tense Cambodia border
BANGKOK: A landmine blast today wounded three Thai soldiers on patrol near the border with Cambodia, days after the two sides agreed a ceasefire to end their deadliest military clashes in decades. The blast occurred in Sisaket province at 10am, the Royal Thai Military said in a statement. One soldier suffered a severe leg injury, another was wounded in the back and arm, and the third had extreme pressure damage to the ear. The incident came after at least 43 people were killed in a five-day conflict that ended on July 29 following a long-running dispute over border temples. The clashes — involving jets, artillery, rockets and infantry battles — ended with a ceasefire, after cajoling by United States President Donald Trump. A meeting of defence officials in Kuala Lumpur ended on Thursday with a deal to extend the ceasefire. Thailand's acting Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai was in neighbouring Surin province today and has ordered the military to ensure the wounded soldiers receive full medical treatment. Last month's clashes along the 800km border forced more than 300,000 people to flee combat areas on both sides of the border.
