Phnom Penh - The Ministry of Defence said Cambodian and Thai troops briefly exchanged fire along the border early Tuesday.
General Chhum Socheat, a ministry spokesman, said no Cambodian soldiers were injured in the morning exchange. He said he did not know whether there were Thai casualties.
"After the fighting stopped, the two sides met each other and said that a mistake caused the (clash)," he said of the six-minute clash.
"I heard that we were in our area and the Thais were in theirs, and (the soldiers) could not see each other clearly," he added.
The exchange of gunfire took place in Oddar Meanchey province around 40 kilometres west of Preah Vihear temple, a regular flashpoint between the two nations.
The relationship between Cambodia and Thailand has been tense for nearly two years with sporadic clashes. Much of their common border has yet to be demarcated.
Diplomatic relations worsened markedly in October when Cambodia appointed Thailand's fugitive ex-premier Thaksin Shinawatra as a government adviser.

I would like to ask DPA or every medias stop to write that Cambodia has not clear border demarcations. It is only the Gouvernment of Hun Sen that did not know about that and lets Yuon and Siem to violate the border and many others conventions between us and theirs.
Thanks for your comprehensions and thanks in adance.
What? Again! How many time did Ah Siam started first, then said misunderstanding!!!
Next time Khmer must shoot first then say the same, or Chea Dara scare he might loss his position, power? Will he report the right issues?
Army is a danger for every government of any REPUBLIC OF BANANA, to avoid COUP D'ETAT, government makes it busy why Hun Sen and Abhisit fake hostility between Cambodian and Thai to keep Thai and Cambodian armies at the border.
Fuck!
Just another bullshit.
hun sen always urge his peoples to obey the laws ,now why hun sen doesn't bring vc,siem bandits to UN court ? ????
Never trust Ah Thai thieves.
It's weird though, everytime the fighting break out Thai-thief alway start first..? and kept saying misunderstanding? and say sorry? every fucken time they kept saying misunderstood like shelling into cambodian..?
Yep, they kept saying, their guns were malfunction, missed the target? Thailand has modern weapons from USA,Israel,German and their weapons..mal-function, missed the target...???? who ta hell believed that nonsense..?
