PHNOM PENH — Barely a day after top regional commanders from the Thai and Cambodian armies agreed to lower tensions that burst into deadly clashes last Friday and Saturday, renewed fighting erupted again Sunday evening.
In response to the worsening situation at the Cambodian-Thai border, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen called on the U.N. Security Council to convene an urgent meeting to stop ‘‘Thailand’s aggression.’‘
In a letter sent to Brazilian envoy Maria Luiza Ribeiro Viotti, the rotating Security Council president, Hun Sen said that despite negotiations for a cease-fire by both sides, ‘‘Thai armed forces launched a full scale armed aggression against Cambodia.’‘
Claiming that Thai forces fired heavy weapons into the UNESCO world heritage Preah Vihear Temple, Hun Sen said, ‘‘All these areas are well inside Cambodian territory. Thai artillery shells have landed as far as approximately 20 km inside Cambodian territory.’‘
