Thai troops killed eight Vietnamese soliders who crossed the border from Cambodia into Thailand, a Thai army commander said. The Vietnamese were apparently on a scouting mission against Cambodian guerrillas. A three-hour-long artillery exchange also took place at three frontier points as Vietnamese shells aimed at Cambodian guerrilla bases fell on Thai soil, said Lt. Gen. Pichitr Kullavanijaya, commander of Thailand’s 1st Army Region. Three Cambodian guerrilla factions are seeking to oust a Vietnamese-installed government in their country.
