At least one soldier has been killed in fresh clashes along the Thai-Cambodian border on Saturday, bringing the total number of deaths to eight on both sides.
The latest casualty comes on the second day of the worst bloodshed since the United Nations called for a ceasefire in February.
Witnesses said the latest clash began before dawn west of Ta Krabey in the Dangrek Mountains and lasted several hours. By afternoon, heavy shelling had stopped but small-arms fire could be heard.
On Friday Thai and Cambodian troops exchanged gunfire and artillery shells, shattering a two-month lull in long-standing tensions over their disputed border.
