Bangkok - Cambodian soldiers fired on Thai soldiers, wounding two, Wednesday afternoon along the disputed border, according to Thai TV reports from the area.
The Cambodian side opened fire at 2:25 pm and allegedly injured two Thai soldiers, according to the reports, which have not been confirmed by the Thai Foreign Ministry or the army.
The incident reportedly occurred 3 kilometres away from Phreah Vihear, an 11th century Hindu temple that has been the cause of many border disputes between the two neighbouring countries for almost five decades.
A similar clash occurred at the same site on October 3 that left two Thai soldiers and one Cambodian wounded. Thailand issued an official protest to the Cambodian government over the alleged border incursion.
Thai residents along the border have been told to evacuate in case of an escalation in the fighting, according to local media reports.
Thailand and Cambodia nearly came to blows over the Preah Vihear temple in July, shortly after UNESCO named the ancient Hindu temple a World Heritage Site despite Thai objections.

Only the king of Thailand can stop the war. The current Thai government can not. He is behind the scene.

Heavy fighting erupted Wednesday between Cambodian and Thai troops near Preah Vihear temple, a Cambodian military commander said as a standoff over disputed border territory that has simmered since July turned violent.
"The shooting is very heavy now - this is very serious," said General Chea Saran, deputy commander of infantry operating on the frontier between the two countries. "I am meeting with my commanders before making orders."
An unnamed military officer at the Ministry of Defence also confirmed that the two sides were engaged in battle at Veal Antri, saying that a Thai helicopter had fired on the Cambodian lines, with the Cambodians responding with anti-aircraft weapons.
Tensions have been building on the frontier since Thai troops reportedly crossed the border into Cambodia in July. Several rounds of crisis talks, the most recent occurring on Monday between Thai Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat and his Cambodian counterpart, Hor Namhong, and Prime Minister Hun Sen, have failed to find a solution.
Soldiers from both sides engaged in a brief firefight at Veal Antri on October 3, wounding three troops. Two Thai soldiers were badly wounded when they stepped on land mines two days later while patrolling near the Cambodian front lines.
Following Monday's negotiations, Hun Sen threatened to turn the border into a "battle zone" if Thai troops did not leave Cambodia. Cambodian commanders said Tuesday that Thailand withdrew its soldiers - a claim that was disputed by Bangkok.
Loun An, deputy governor of Oddar Meanchey province, said Cambodian and Thai troops have shelled each other, and some 40 Thai troops have been surrounded by Cambodian soldiers.
Ten Thai troops near Preah Vihear temple have also surrendered, according to wire service reports.
.........
Maj. Prum Saroeun said about 20 Thai troops were taken prisoner. The claims could not be independently confirmed.
Thai army spokesman Sansern Kaewkumnerd said five Thai soldiers were wounded.
The gunfight escalated a conflict that officials from both sides fear could result in a war between the neighbors.
The greedy monkeys from Cambodia must be send back to where they came from over the 600 meters cliff at all cost. Aggressors against Khmer people in Thailand will not be tolerated.
Go to the hell Thai King.

Siam People now a day, they do not understand where they were during the ancient time. Khmer king was too generous. Siam ancestor was an invader, stealer till they die. Nothing they can do from one generation to next generation beside teaching and telling their Siam people that Khmer are bad. Khmer study all the history, accept what is our reality. Dare Siam ancestor did so? Dare you study old history and think?
Don't forget that all your land that you got today is belong to Khmer. Once day we will take all back and slaughter you as our slave just like an ancient time. Mark my word.
The khmers must not release the thai prisoners of war at all. Keep them untill the war over completly for exchanging. Incase the stupid idiot no culture thais capture our solders.
Long Live Cambodia and prosperity
