Fighting has resumed along the border between Thailand and Cambodia, a day after clashes in which at least six soldiers were killed.
Troops exchanged artillery and gunfire in jungle around Ta Krabey temple, which both sides claim.
The area is about 200km (125 miles) west of the disputed 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple, the scene of deadly clashes in February.
Thousands of civilians have been evacuated from the area.
"Fresh fighting started at around 0600 (2300 GMT Friday) with rifles and mortar shelling," said Thai army spokesman Col Prawit Hookaew.
