At least 12 people – mostly Thai civilians – have been confirmed killed in clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops on the two nations' shared border, marking an escalation of a dispute which goes back over 100 years, and has been simmering for several months.
Artillery and rockets have been fired from Cambodia, and Thailand has deployed fighter jets.
While officials in Bangkok have blamed the attack on Cambodian aggression, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet says Thailand launched a pre-mediated assault.
