The gunfire exchange between Cambodian and Thai troops over the border disputed area at the Ta Mon Thom temple and Ta Krabey temple in Oddar Meanchey province still continues.
Chhum Socheat, spokesman for the Cambodian Ministry of Defense, said Saturday that the clash began at 6:15 when Thai troops have started their attack on Cambodian troops stationed at the Ta Mon Temple and then at 6:40 a.m., Thai troops expanded their attacks on Cambodian troops stationed at the Ta Krabey temple.
As of 8:40 a.m., the fighting still continues.
"The fighting is on a large-scale as Thai troops have been using all types of sophisticated weapons -- heavy guns, machine guns, and artilleries to fire onto the temples and civil habitats around the areas," he said.
Immediate casualties are not available, he said.
Pich Sokhin, provincial governor of Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province, said that the provincial authority is using trucks to evacuate villagers from the nearby fighting areas.
"As of 9:10 a.m. this morning, a large-scale attack still continues and it's reported that some of our soldiers were injured, " he told Xinhua by telephone on Saturday.
"And we have evacuated 595 families living nearby the fighting areas to a safe shelter in the province's Sarong district, some 30 kilometers from the battle fields," he added.
This is the second consecutive day of military clashes between Cambodian and Thai troops over the border disputed areas after Friday's clashes claimed at least 6 lives of both sides' troops and injured over a dozen, forced thousands of both sides' locals to flee home.
The most recent military clash 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.

Idiot, would you shut your filthy mouth.
Because of the CPP allows the Viet to take our land that is why the Thai want some too.
Again, I urge the khmer gov't to increase in migrating more Viets for at least another 2 millions and place them around preah vihear area along the 4.6km ASAP. Because the Thai people are taking advantage of us and our down fall. We have to find way to protect our nation and our country and to do that we all must be united and work together as a team. Remember this, the Viet have helped us in many ways but never did the Thai. In 1979-1980 they helped to killed our people by dumping us in the mine-field. Many of us were killed by them. less we forget!!!. So, it is better for Viets than for the Thai. In 1979 the viets not only gave us rice to eat but also saved the whole nation. Please don't let anyone put both Viet and khmer down. We all must work together as a team and promote peace and harmony. Note do not listen to the Thai no more enough is enough!!!For Thai, you are not only attacking khmer but also Viets, I promise you this, you will pay for it, it is called 'Karma" . Aust
