The Thai army did not fire first during the latest round of clashes, an army spokesman told Xinhua on Friday.
"During the latest fighting over night which left one Thai soldier dead and another three to four injured, we did not fire first," Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd, Thai Army spokesman said in an telephone interview with Xinhua on Friday morning.
"The fighting continued from 09:00 p.m. on Thursday until 06:00 a.m. on Friday, during which the Cambodians fired small artillery and threw bombs at us and we have to fire back at them," the spokesman said.
The clashes happened less than 12 hours after ceasefire talks between Lt Gen Thawatchai Samutsakorn, commander of Thai Army Region 2 and Major General Chea Mon, commander of Military Region 4, during which both sides agreed to halt fighting.
"Lt Gen Thawatchai is responsible for the area of fighting while Chea Mon is not, instead, the deputy Army chief of Cambodia is the man who is responsible for the area, " Col. Sansern said.
The Thai army will continue watching the situation, the spokesman added.
The last seven days of clashes have left seven Thai soldiers, one civilian dead, several dozens injured, and forced 60,000 civilians of both countries to flee home.

No independent observer to verify, who is going to believe the Thai liars.
Yes, let's get 10,000 of volunteered indonesian observers and put them all along the border that way we'd know who shot first. now you think you really make sense.
Thais would like to talk to Hun Sen but Hun Sen didnot want to talk. He simply wants the International Unit to interfere. He gives out Cambodian's soil to Vietnam and then wants 4.6 square kilometre from Thailand. He wants to appoint his son, fucking Hun Manet to replace Tia Banh. He fears that Tia Banh will stage a coup against him. So he asks his son to break out the war with Thailand. Cambodians started first. Hun Ma Net started first. All Cambodians should be united. Kill Hun Sen and ask Sam Rainsy to come back. It is only then that the war will be stopped. Hun Sen has planned to appoint his sun to succeed him...
Hun Sen did a lot of corruptions. He stole the donation money given to Cambodian people. He evacuated people from their own land illegitimately. He has given many pieces of land of Cambodia to Vietnam...etc. All these make him deserve to get caught and sentenced to death. You Cambodians are coward to fight Hun Sen!!!
