BANGKOK: Three days of heavy fighting between Thailand and Cambodia on their disputed border have left 12 people dead, with another soldier killed on each side, officials said on Monday.

Seven Cambodian and five Thai troops have died in exchanges of artillery shells and small arms fire on their jungle frontier.

A Thai army ranger was killed late on Sunday, said a Thai military spokesman in the border area, Colonel Prawit Hookaew.

One more Cambodian soldier was also killed late on Sunday, Cambodian field commander Suos Sothea told AFP.

"One of our soldiers was shot dead by a Thai sniper last night... during a patrol," he said.

He added that another Cambodian soldier had been missing since Friday. "we have not yet located him."


Thai and Cambodian soldiers were locked in a tense standoff at the border on Monday but fighting appeared to have abated after three days of cross-border shelling that began on Friday.

It is the first serious outbreak of hostilities since February when 10 people were killed in clashes near the 900-year-old disputed temple Preah Vihear, prompting the UN Security Council to call for a lasting ceasefire.

The latest fighting has been taking place near a different groups of temples about 150 kilometres (90 miles) away.

The two neighbours have fought a series of deadly gunbattles in recent years in the jungle near ancient temples along the border, which has never been fully demarcated, partly because it is littered with landmines.

បើស្លាប់ដើម្បី ជាតិពិតប្រាកដ គឺ

ស្លាប់ដើម្បី បំបែកអំណាចរដ្ឋ

ស្លាប់ដើម្បី ធ្វើអោយអំណាចឋិតនៅលើដៃរាស្រ្ត (Power to People)

ប្រសើរជាង ស្លាប់ដូចសព្វថ្ងៃ

ស្លាប់ដើម្បីការពារនយោបាយបោកប្រាស់របស់គេ

ស្លាប់ដើម្បីការពារអំណាចប្រមូលផ្តុំរបស់នាយករដ្ឋមន្ត្រី

ការការពារព្រំដែនសព្វថ្ងៃ គឺជាអំពើប្រជាភិថុតតែប៉ុណ្ណោះ

អាយ៉ងក្បត់ជាតិ ហ៊ុន សែន ជាមេឃាតករឈាមត្រជាក់
;ហើយក៏ជាមេគ្រោះថ្នាក់ធំជាងគេ បើមិននាំគ្នាកំចាត់
វាចោលទេ ប្រទេសខ្មែរគ្មានថ្ងៃបានអភិវឌ្ឍន៍ជឿនលឿន
និងសុខសាន្តឡើយ។
