Thai, Cambodian troops clash again near temple, 1 killed

Thai and Cambodian soldiers exchanged fire for a second day on Saturday in a brief clash that killed at least one Thai soldier, the latest flare-up in a long-running feud over land around an 11th-century temple.

 

Thai army spokesman, Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd, said one soldier was killed and four were wounded during shelling in a 4.6-sq-km (two-sq-mile) disputed area around Preah Vihear temple, a jungle-clad escarpment claimed by both countries. (Reuters)
