Thailand has denied Cambodian allegations that Thai troops damaged an ancient temple during a recent border clash.
Cambodia said earlier that it had filed a complaint with the United Nations, alleging Thai soldiers had damaged statues and a staircase at the Preah Vihear temple with rocket launchers.
But the Thai Foreign Ministry says Thai troops neither used rockets, nor heavy weapons in the clash.
The World Heritage temple site is at the centre of a long-running territorial dispute between the two sides.
During the just-ended Asia-Europe summit in Beijing, Thai Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat and Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen held a meeting on the border conflict, and vowed to solve the issue in a bilateral framework.
