border area, with a Cambodian soldier and a Thai civilian reported
killed.
The Cambodian government has called it an "invasion", while the Thai
military said it was a misunderstanding.
Tension has been rising in recent days, with both sides moving in more troops.
Shells landed in the grounds of the ancient Preah Vihear temple on the
Cambodian side of the border and in a Thai village.
It is the most serious incident on the border for some time.
A Cambodian government spokesman blamed the encroachment of Thai
soldiers for the fighting and said a complaint would be sent to the UN
Security Council.
Long-running dispute
A Thai military official insisted that artillery fire from Cambodia
was the trigger. But he said it might have been unintentional.
The fighting ended after about two hours, with both sides confirming a
ceasefire.
The two countries' foreign ministers had been meeting in Cambodia to
discuss the long-running border dispute when the fighting started.
The Thai nationalist "yellow-shirt" movement has called on its
government to take a harder line on the issue with its smaller
neighbour.
It is planning a demonstration in front of Cambodia's embassy in
Bangkok on Saturday.
There has been tension in the region ever since Cambodia secured the
World Heritage listing of the Preah Vihear temple in 2008.
This caused joy in Cambodia, and anguish in Thailand - which once
claimed the temple.
