Military officials surveyed areas damaged in the clashes at the Thai-Cambodian border.

Fourteen delegates from the Southeast Asian bloc visited boundary marker 73 between Trat province, Thailand, and Koh Kong, Cambodia, on September 2.

Led by Commander Theeraphon Lamyaisathit of the Royal Thai Marine Task Force, they inspected the border and were briefed on sniffer dog operations and unexploded ordnance left behind from the 1960s and 70s, when the US annihilated villages across the region.

The group, including representatives from Brunei, Malaysia, Laos, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore and Vietnam, also attended a presentation by Royal Thai Navy spokesman Captain Pavichaya Waleesuksan on the ongoing conflict.

A bloody military confrontation flared in long-disputed border areas as Thailand and Cambodia accused each other of instigating the violence on July 24.

The Thai army claimed the clash began when six armed Cambodian soldiers approached a Thai outpost after a drone was heard near a disputed Khmer temple. Thai troops said they shouted warnings and claimed the Cambodians opened fire first.

However, Cambodia's Defense Ministry accused Thailand of provoking the violence, saying its forces acted in self-defense.

Officials said dozens of people have been killed and more than 300,000 displaced on both sides of the border.

Both sides have reached a shaky truce following talks facilitated by Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
