PHNOM PENH — Cambodian and Thai troops exchanged fire briefly on their border Tuesday, the latest in a series of clashes between the neighbours, a Cambodian official said.
The shoot-out on Cambodia's northwestern border lasted for about six minutes, but there were no immediate reports of casualties, Cambodian defence ministry spokesman Chhum Socheat told AFP.
The incident occurred as soldiers from both sides were patrolling the border area, some 40 kilometres (25 miles) away from Cambodia's ancient Preah Vihear temple, which is at the centre of a land dispute between the two nations.
