PHNOM PENH — Cambodian and Thai troops have had a brief shoot-out on their disputed border, a Cambodian defence ministry spokesman said Saturday, in the latest such flare-up.
Chum Socheat told AFP that soldiers from the two countries exchanged fire for two or three minutes on Friday evening.
"We are now further investigating into the problem to find out how it started. We can't tell who started it first," he said.
He added that Cambodian troops reported a Thai soldier was killed in the skirmish, however Thai military officials were not immediately available to comment.
