Cambodia says fighting breaks out for second straight day in border skirmish with Thai troops
By Associated Press, Friday, April 22, 9:39 PM
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia — Cambodia says fighting has broken out for the second straight day in a border skirmish with Thai troops.
Government spokesman Phay Siphan says new fighting broke out at about 6 a.m. Saturday at the same three locations where troops from both countries battled for several hours a day earlier with artillery and small arms. Thai officials were not immediately available for comment.
At least three soldiers from each side died in Friday’s fighting, and thousands of civilians were evacuated from the battle zone. The fighting springs from decades-old competing claims over small swaths of land along the border.
