Vietnamese occupation troops and Cambodian rebels fought on three fronts as 20,000 refugees evacuated temporary border shelters and crossed from Cambodia into Thailand to escape the battles. The fighting took place at Ampil, the former stronghold of the anti-Communist Khmer People’s National Liberation Front, which had been overrun by the Vietnamese on Christmas Day; at Phnom Hakeun village, where the Communist Khmer Rouge attacked, and at San Lo Changan, where Vietnamese shelled insurgent positions.
