Fears of full-scale bloody battles along the Thai-Cambodian border grew yesterday as both sides began to deploy heavy artillery.
Tensions continued to escalate in Surin's Phanom Dong Rak district after a new round of border clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops yesterday, the third in three days.
Both sides were bringing in reinforcements right along the border including heavy weaponry, heightening fears that war could be looming.
Yesterday's clashes started at about 10am and stopped at about 6pm near Ta Muen Thom and Ta Kwai temples in Surin. Three more Thai soldiers were injured.
