One soldier was killed and 11 others injured in the latest clash between Thai and Cambodian troops along the border in Surin province on Saturday morning, army spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said.
Col Sansern said the fighting erupted about 6am and stopped about 11.25am. He assured that local villagers evacuated to various evacuation centres are safe from the gun-battle.
Army Region 2 commander Lt Gen Thawatchai Samutsakorn insisted that Thai troops had not made any artillery fire into Cambodia territory as was reported by the media. Thai soldiers had to return fire because Cambodian troops fired first, he said.
