A brief fight between Thai and Cambodian soldiers on the disputed site near Preah Vihar Temple was caused by misunderstanding and has been resolved, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Monday.
There is no report of casuality from both sides after they exchanged gunfire early Sunday about 20 kilometers from the temple.
The premier said both sides have met and agreed to settle. "There would be no escalation of the situation," he said.
Army spokesman Col Sansern Kaewkamnerd said Monday, "It was a misunderstanding. I cannot say who first opened fire but the misunderstanding has been settled."
