War?

[Bengt]

Thai Foreign Minister Sompong Amornvivat urged Thai nationals in Cambodia to leave as soon as possible Wednesday after a gun-battle between troops along a disputed stretch of their border.

“Thai businessmen who have no need to be in Cambodia now, please rush back to Thailand,” Sompong told reporters. (Washington Post)

Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged gunfire Wednesday along their border, a Cambodia army commander said, as a row over a disputed patch of land appeared to be escalating.

“Cambodian and Thai troops are opening fire at each other now,” Brigadier General Bun Thean told AFP from the scene.

“Our troops prevented Thai troops from entering our territory, but they started to open fire at our troops right away,” he said, adding there was “heavy gunfire” at two areas near Preah Vihear temple.

Reporters with local Thai television confirmed they witnessed both sides exchanging gunfire. (AFP)

Well it seems that some politicians have decided to go indeed on the “adventure” path. It’s a shame.

UPDATE

Two Thai troops were injured during a clash with Cambodian troops along Thai-Cambodia border on Wednesday, Army spokesman Sansern Kaeowkamnerd said.

Both suffered from sharpnels of explosives and were rushed to a hospital in Si Sa Kaet province.

They were injured in one of two clashes with Cambodia at Pa Mo I Daeng in Si Sa Ket province. Another clash Phu Ma Khur caused no casualty.
