Phnom Penh Tuesday, 08 June 2010
“The soldiers of Trapaing Prasath district were patrolling, and they met accidentally with Thai soldiers who were on patrol as well,” he said. “Both sides opened fire.”Cambodian and Thai troops engaged in a brief exchange of gunfire on Tuesday, but neither side reported injuries.
The clash, which began just before 10 am in the Dangrek Mountains of Oddar Meanchey province, lasted only five minutes, said Chhum Socheat, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense, who blamed the exchange on a “misunderstanding.”
“The soldiers of Trapaing Prasath district were patrolling, and they met accidentally with Thai soldiers who were on patrol as well,” he said. “Both sides opened fire.”
Chhum Socheat said the Thai soldiers likely thought they were firing on illegal loggers, not soldiers. Commanders on both sides were already discussing the issue, he said.
Cambodia and Thailand have both amassed troops along the northern border, following the inception of Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage site under Cambodian control. Both sides lay claim to land near the temple, fueling a standoff that has gone on since July 2008. Sporadic clashes have left a handful of killed soldiers on each side. The latest clash took place in O’smach district in April, though no one was hurt.
A Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman said Tuesday the Thais had not yet verified reports of the engagement.

Just fucking shoot the fucking siem soldiers. I'm Happy to see all the fucking siem nation burn down to hell I want to see the real fight between the khmer and siem I'm 100% support my cmabodian stroops.
fuck siem
Me too, watching BangCock burn is so much fun lol
Misunderstanding my cock. The God damn siem scum bags are subhuman who seem to want to shoot at unarm civilian illegal or not. How about due process. Civilized siem my ass. They claim to be very educated. I will challenge them to any debate any time anywhere. Fucking scumbag.
Thai soldiers will practice this similar "error" often. This time they said they mistook Cambodian soldiers as illegal loggers. First of all, didn't they see the weapons in Cambodian soldiers' hands? Second if they really thought that what they were shooting at were loggers then they must have intentionally shot at targets in the Cambodian territory.
It was a deliberate test. Remember last year at one time they flew over Pailin then they said the clouds prevented their pilots from seeing the ground well. It was quite an insult to give such an explanation.
10:45am, I agree with you 100%. The siem scumbags just insult our inteligent by claiming these childish thought process.
I wish our khmer soldiers just push them out of Preah Vihear once and for all.
Still playing volley ball and ping pong and then shoot at each other like little children? ahahahah
This is just another Dr. Hun Sen fail diplomacy which is going nowhere! What Cambodia needs is a decisive victory and claims complete sovereignty over Khmer land disputed area!
This is called for more landmines and more missile defense systems. B-40 won’t cut it!
Early on Chea Dara reported the Siam started first, now this man Chh. Socheat reported (both side ) opened fire!
So who's to believe? Hun Sen still get the right reports or not?
Any ways, we should fire at Siam any time if they crossed border, this animals Siam army alway shoot our unarm Khmers that lived or working in Siam.
Fuck Ah Siam.
