Thai Army spokesman Ventai Suwari confirmed at a press conference on December 8 that a new round of Thai-Cambodian border clashes had killed 1 Thai soldier and injured 8 soldiers. Wentai also said that the reason Thailand dispatched the air force to intervene in the conflict was that Thailand must quickly intercept Cambodian weapons threatening the Thai military and civilians. In previous clashes, Cambodia had fired such weapons at target areas of Thai civilians, causing many deaths and injuries.
