A Cambodian soldier died in a brief border clash between Thai and Cambodian troops on Wednesday. Cambodian officials say Thai troops initiated fire during a routine patrol, while Thailand claims Cambodian soldiers entered a disputed area and fired first. The 10-minute exchange ended after commanders ordered a ceasefire. Both countries' army chiefs will meet Thursday to discuss the incident, which follows a history of border disputes between the nations.
