Thai and Cambodian troops clashed on Monday for a fourth straight day, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen (pictured) said, as tensions again surged in a border dispute that has left at least five people dead. "The firing has started for the fourth time," Hun Sen said at a graduation ceremony in the
capital.
A Cambodian military commander who did not wish to be named said both sides traded fire just after 8:00 am (local time). He was unable to say what kind of weapons were involved.
A Thai military source near the border said that about two minutes of small arms fire had been heard today morning, describing it as a "misunderstanding."
