Ta Krabey temple where the clash occurred at 6 a.m today, 22nd April.BANGKOK (AFP)— Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged fire on their disputed border, officials said, the latest in a series of clashes between the neighbours.
The fighting broke out early Friday, at the border near Pa Nom Dong Rak district of Thailand's Surin province, Thai army spokesman Colonel Sunsern Kaewkumnerd said.
"I don't know the reason for the clash, which is still going on," he said.
A long-running dispute between the two countries over land near a 900-year-old temple erupted into four days of clashes in February, leaving at least 10 people dead and prompting a UN appeal for a lasting ceasefire.
