Cambodian officials said more Thai troops crossed into their country's territory today in the second day of alleged incursions amid tensions over disputed border land near a historic temple.
Thai officials have denied any incursion, saying the troops are deploying on what was clearly Thai territory to protect their country's sovereignty.
However, a senior Thai military source said about 200 Thai troops were inside what he called "disputed border territory.''
The latest confrontation came after UNESCO declared Preah Vihear - which is at the center of a long-standing border quarrel between the neighbors - a World Heritage site last week.
