Thai and Cambodian soldiers have carried out the firing of rockets and exchanged gunfire for several hours in the day Wednesday. The confrontation took place at the border near the Hindu temple of Preah Vihear 900 years old which is in dispute. Two Cambodian soldiers were killed and four others were injured by the foreign minister of Cambodia. The Thai side we talk of five soldiers injured due to shrapnel and another 10 taken prisoner. The Thai Foreign Minister, Sompong Amornvivat, urged his countrymen to leave Cambodia immediately.
October 3, a clash erupted at the same location, killing two Thai soldiers and wounding one Cambodian soldier
In 1962, however, the International Court of Justice had decided to grant the territoriality of the temple and the 4.6 square kilometers surrounding the ruins in Cambodia.
The Embassy of Great Earth strongly discourages its citizens from traveling to the region bordering the border area between Cambodia and Thailand.
