Thailand launches airstrikes on Cambodia after clashes on disputed border | BBC News


Clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops at their disputed border have killed 11 civilians and one soldier, Thai officials say.

Both sides exchanged gunfire early on Thursday, with each claiming the other had triggered the conflict. It escalated quickly, with Thailand accusing Cambodia of firing rockets and Bangkok carrying out air strikes on Cambodian military targets.

Thailand has closed its border with Cambodia, while Cambodia has downgraded its ties with Thailand, accusing its military of using "excessive force".
