BANGKOK — Officials say the worst fighting between Thai and Cambodian forces in years has spread, with both sides exchanging artillery and rifle-fire near another temple in a disputed zone along the border.
Thai army spokesman Col. Sansern Kaewkamnerd says skirmishes broke out near Cambodia's 11th century Preah Vihear temple on Tuesday. Cambodian government spokesman Phay Siphan confirmed that account.
The two Southeast Asian nations have battled along their border daily since Friday in several spots around 100 miles (160 kilometres) west of Preah Vihear, which was the scene of four days of fierce fighting in February.
