Arrested Thai soldiers, wearing black, sit with Cambodian soldiers after the firefight. In addition to the two Cambodian soldiers killed, three were injured, and five Thai soldiers were injured.
Cambodian soldiers stand guard during the firefight, which flared after four months of tension over the Preah Vihear temple. Thailand has objected to Cambodia's demands to have the temple declared a U.N. World Heritage site.
An injured Thai soldier is carried by his comrades to a helicopter after he was hurt in clashes with Cambodian troops at the disputed border area of the Preah Vihear temple, Si Sa Ket province, Thailand, 15 October 2008. Cambodian soldiers fired on Thai soldiers, wounding four Thai soldiers along the disputed border. Thailand denied claims that it had withdrawn its troops from a disputed border area with Cambodia, while maintaining it would not be the first to resort to force in the festering conflict with its neighbour.
Cambodian children wait on a truck, prepared to leave their house, near Preah Vihear temple in Cambodia. Sovereignty over the land surrounding the temple has never been clearly established.
