PHNOM PENH, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- A Cambodia's National Defense Ministry official said Saturday that there was another small fire between Thai and Cambodian troops in Veal Veng district in Pursat province.
Maj. Gen. Chhum Socheat, spokesman of Cambodia's National Defense Ministry told reporters that the clash happened at about 10 p.m. on Friday night but "we are still investigating the reason and who started the fire first." He said he also learned from the troops that the fire has resulted in the death of one Thai solider and injury of a few others.
But no one was reportedly killed or injured from the Cambodian side, he said.
Keo Sokunthear, vice police chief of Pursat province told reporters that as many as 20 Thai soldiers were trying to trespass Cambodian territory on Friday night before fire exchanged.
He said no Cambodian soldiers had lost lives in the fire, but one Thai soldier was killed and a few others might be injured, but he could not give the actual number.
On Sunday last week, Thai and Cambodian troops also exchanged a fire at the border area, east of Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple, a place of the border dispute between the two countries since July 2008.

Me no worried about tah EAST. Me worried about tah WEST. Vietnamese is me friend foe long tam, also they saved me life.
cat and mouse game. one day they eat party together the next day they chase and shoot each other. you are at the boarder to defend your land. if you keep eat and dance with your enemy they will think you are very weak and easy to fool. so stop communicate and stop play all the game completely. be serious, you stay at your side and your enemy should do the same. when you doing that your enemy know that you mean business. they wont dare cross over the boarder to your side. if they do shoot them.
