The World : Thais to Protest Viet Attack

Thailand said it will lodge a protest at the United Nations over the deaths of six people in a Vietnamese attack on its territory over the weekend. Vietnamese and Thai gunners exchanged fire across the Thai-Cambodian border after Vietnamese soldiers tried to seize a hilltop inside Thailand as part of an attack on Cambodian rebels, the Thai army said. Six villagers were killed by Vietnamese shelling around O-Bok, about 185 miles northeast of Bangkok, before Thai units pushed the intruders back into Cambodia, the army said.
