BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai and Cambodian troops clashed before dawn on Tuesday at a disputed stretch of border, a Thai army spokesman said, but a senior Cambodian military official denied the report.
"It was a minor clash at the frontline with pistols, wounding one soldier on the Thai side," said Thai army spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd, adding that the soldier was wounded by a grenade.
The Cambodian government, however, said it was unaware of any clash between the two countries. A senior Cambodian army commander said there had been no fighting.
A spokesman at a Thai hospital in the border area said the wounded soldier appeared to have stepped on a landmine.
Thailand and Cambodia blame each other for clashes this month near the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple that killed at least three Thais and eight Cambodians. The temple is located on a disputed piece of land between the two countries.
The U.N. Security Council on Monday called for a permanent ceasefire and voiced concern about recent violence, urging both sides to show "maximum restraint".

American can see from full High definition digital record from a satilite every movement and events record. Ask American about it but I doubt that American like Hun Sen regimes that is why American push thai army go to war with Hun Sen but not all khmer. This war is about American want Cambodia as Egypt, Tunasia.
American satilite can scan deep into the earth for oil, minerals...without need to go there and dig deep at all but why America always delay and delay and say couldn't find oil in Cambodia because Thai ask American to do that, so Thai can suck more oil from Cambodia side plus American already form big oil factory in thailand why US need to invest billions dollar again for nothing if thai can suck as much oil sell to US already. Think about it!
