Fresh fighting has broken out at Cambodia's border with Thailand after two days of skirmishes that killed at least 10 soldiers and forced the evacuation of thousands of civilians.

Both Thai and Cambodian commanders confirmed accounts of fighting.

It is the first reported border clash since February, when eight soldiers and civilians were killed near Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple.

The new clashes took place about 160km west of there. The dispute is over a small border area claimed by both countries.
