Thailand claims Cambodia opened fire first.However, Cambodia denied this and accused Thailand of carrying out the first attack.
The two parties themselves have been arguing for several days.
Following the soldier’s death, Thailand on Monday deployed F-16 fighter jets to attack Cambodian military infrastructure on the border.Cambodia meanwhile reportedly launched a rocket at a Thai residential area in Ban Sai Tho 10, Ban Kruat district, Buri Ram.
A total of 438,000 civilians in five border provinces have currently been evacuated by the Thai government.Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of civilians on the Cambodian side were also moved to safe locations.
