Thai-Khmer border skirmish breaks out

Border skirmish between Thai and Cambodian troops broke out Friday at the disputed area in Si Sa Ket province near the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear, local residents said.

The clash between two sides took place at Phu Ma Khua hill at 3.15pm and sounds of gun fire were heard at Si Sa Ket province's Ban Phum Srol some five kilometres from the hill, they said.

A Cambodian solider meanwhile confirmed the fighting.

A local residents told the Nation in a telephone interview, "sounds of many weapons, including small and heavy weapons such as rockets were heard from the area," he said. "The fighting is still going on."


Authorities ordered local residents to take shelters immediately for their safety.

Bounruam Phongpan, director of Phum Srol school, evacuated children to a safe place.

Thailand and Cambodia are at loggerhead over the border area adjacent to the Prearh Vihear for long time. Both sides have boosted troops to the disputed areas days ago after nationalist group People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) staged a protest near the Prime Minister Office demanding the government to use forces to kick Cambodians out of the area.

    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...

    Cambodia and Hun Sen
    along with his officials from to
    bottom.
    Dare to die to survive.The Yuon is
    greedy and is one
    of Khmer invader.
    Wake up!Rise up against them!
    Not Khmer soldiers
    Sir!There are 200,000 Vietnam soldiers in the
    rubber plant fields
    in seven provinces
    in Cambodia.
    Khmer people do not
    want Khmer soldiers
    dying for Yuon.
    Thai is jealous of
    Yuon that take Khmer
    land and took over
    Khmer since 1979.
    Keep your ears and
    your eyes open.
    Listen! Know what
    you Know the ones you don't know you should learn to know.
    Rise up!Rise! against Hun Sen and
    Yuon.
