The Cambodian Defence Ministry says shelling has damaged two ancient temples on the Thai Cambodian border but gave no further details about what damage might have been done to the temples - Ta Moan and Ta Krabey.
The Thais reject the accusation, saying shells fired by Cambodia failed to make it across the border implying any damage may be the fault of Cambodian troops. The clashes began on Friday and after a short lull in fighting flared up again yesterday.
