Three Cambodian soldiers were killed and other 11 were injured in the armed clashes on Saturday with Thai troops over disputed areas, a senior military officer told Xinhua.
"Today's fighting left 3 of our soldiers killed and other 11 injured," Suos Sothea, deputy commander of artillery unit, told Xinhua from the battle fields on Saturday night.
It brought the death toll of Cambodian soldiers to 6 and the injured to 17 during the two straight days of the two countries' armed clashes.
Meanwhile, Cambodian Ministry of Defense issued another statement late Saturday, saying that the situation along the Cambodian-Thai border near Oddor Meanchey province, provoked by Thai military, is still tense at this moment.
"Following three series of Thai military aggressions on Friday' s morning, at 9:40 a.m. earlier Saturday, Thai military shelled five toxic gas ammunitions by DK 75mm and 105mm on Cambodian military positions within the vicinity of the Temple of Ta Moan," it said.
"Up to 11:20 a.m., Thai military also continued shelling further five DK 75mm into the vicinity of the Temple of Ta Moan."
At the same time, Thai reconnaissance planes flew deep into the Cambodia's airspace in the area of the Temple of Ta Moan. But the situation has been calm since 11:30 a.m., it added.
The latest military clashes at Ta Mon Thom and Ta Krabey temples in Oddor Meanchey province reoccurred just more than two months after the deadly clash on Feb. 4-7 at the border disputed area next to the Preah Vihear Temple, a World Heritage Site.
Cambodia's Preah Vihear Temple was enlisted as a World Heritage Site on July 7, 2008. Just a week after the enlistment, Cambodia and Thailand have had a border conflict due to Thai claim of the ownership of 4.6 square km of scrub next to the temple, triggering a military build-up along the border and periodic clashes between soldiers on both sides.

Fighting is not a solution. But lets have a go if you are hungry for war.
11:34 PM
Where are you coming from and who are you ?
To be clear, we Khmer are not hungry of war. We have had a lot of experiences about the wars and we knew so well the result of a war.
You want, we Khmer don't have to fight, just let Thai kill our people. You mean the peace for Cambodia will come from the sky.
11:34
The coward is not even in his country. Not even in the army. Not even the frontline. He said, "let's fight if you're hungry".
Wimp, maybe you're in the bangkok night club pole dancing as a tran. That is what true Siam do in Bangcock while they use the Khmer and Laos ethnic of Surin to fight their dirty wars.
Siam only go hard in bed, and leave the warrior stuff to others.
Khmer must beware that we are fighting our own people if we play by Siam's game!
May God bless my Cambodian soldiers. I am hoping not to have them get hurt and died. Ah Thai, Moung Dia Pai..I wish Ah Khun Thai, Ah Tahan (Thai soldiers) Thai death. Ah fucking Thai-Siam all should be killed.

ThaiLand is doing the right things.
As long as Cambodia has VIOLATED the 23 October 1991 peace Agreement
Thailand has the rights to do so...
If Vietnam can do Thailand and Laos can do too.
There is nothing wrong with that, due to PARIS PEACE AGREEMENT.
I say Thailand's doing the great job!
Invade as much as Thai can do....
If Viet can do same as Thai and Laos, doing their part.
Thank You Thai...
According to the UN, Cambodia and Thailand have not signed the Convention on Cluster Munitions which prohibits the use of cluster bombs.
Thailand and Cambodia are not among the 43 countries that have ratified the Convention on Cluster Munitions, which has taken effect since August 1, 2010, and bans the stockpiling, use and transfers of existing cluster bombs and provides for the clearing up of unexploded munitions.
So,Thai and khmer can be used anything to win the war.
DON'T WORRY PATRIOTS, LET THE THAI DO THE DUTY WORK FOR US. ONCE HUN SEN AND HIS CPP GANG ARE GONE WE CAN LET THE UNITED NATIONS DEAL WITH THE INVADING THAI LATER ON. PLEASE REMEMBER, IT'S EASY TO REMOVE THE THAI, BUT NOT HUN SEN!
WE MUST NOT GIVE OUR SUPPORT TO THE TYRANT HUN SEN ANYMORE. DON'T FALL FOR HIS DUTY TRICK.
LONG LIVE KHMER RACE!
a lot of Thai editor in KI we are always fall into the trap of our enemy, why some Khmer claim them self compatriot but they always collaborate with Thai thieve. we clearly see Editor for KI is Thai nationalist, Ki team should put to death their mission is to divide and destroy Khmer.
Var Kim Hong does recognize that Cambodia, if compared to the colonial Service Geographique de l’Indochine scale map 1/100,000 and the 1985 delimitation treaty, will loses 9,000 hectares; and compared to U.S Army Mapping Service scale map 1/50,000 with the 1985 Treaty, would lose about 7,900 hectares to Vietnam. This statement was confirmed by Var Kim Hong to Mr. Touch Bora Esq through a telephone conversation on 30 August 2002 at 4:30 p.m. (Sydney time), which Mr. Touch Bora Esq wrote in his letter dated on 9 September 2002 sent to Sam Dach Ta Noroudom Sihanouk concerning over border affairs.
In fact, the loss is absolutely more than the 1000 square kilometers stated by MP Sam Rainsy in his statement, if we add the size of the historical water of 30000 square kilometers awarded to Vietnam under the 1982 Agreement which has been into affect and now already become under the full control of Vietnam. And this would not be the last if the equidistance principle be used to delimit the maritime boundary, Cambodia will lose an additional area of sea and seabed measuring at least 860 square nautical miles from the Brevie Line to the north, analyzed by Mr. Touch Bora Esq or another 10000 square kilometers confirmed by Mr. Sean Pengse, the President of the Cambodian Border Committee Worldwide, which exclusively include another Koh Poula Wai to Vietnam added to the previous lost islands- Koh Tral (Dao Phu Quoc) and Koh Poulo Panjang (Dao Thu Chu).
This is why sVar Kim Hong said in front of Students´s Movement for Democracy (SMD), and Sam Dach Ta Norodom Sihanouk on 22 Janaury 2000 during our audience with him concerning the border resolution with Vietnam that; “If we want peace, we must sacrifice our flesh to the tiger.” The truth is discovered now that, “Sacrifice the flesh to tiger actually means cutting our land to the Viet.” This word was clearly spoken out from his mouth and there were Sam Dach Ta as witness and 31 members.
We must condemn this Var Kim Hong for his role in helping the traitorous regime of Hun Sen.
Smart Khmer Girl Ms. Rattana Keo,
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By Ms. Rattana Keo
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 10,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 10,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 10,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 10,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
