The Cambodian army has suffered more losses than the Thai military in the latest border clashes, army spokesman Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Tuesday.

Col Sansern said there were fresh clashes overnight along the disputed border erupted - about 7pm, 10.30pm and 3am. One Thai soldier was killed overnight.

"The Thai army is not on the defensive. When they fired five, we fired 20 back," he said.

Cambodia had suffered 10 times the losses of the Thai forces, he said, but the Thai army did not want to invade because it would then become a full-scale war.

He did not give actual details of the Cambodian losses.
