Four Cambodian civilians and at least one Thai soldier were killed in the renewed clashes, which forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.

Thailand’s military said airstrikes were launched after one of its soldiers was killed and four others wounded in fighting along the countries’ tense border yesterday morning.

The Thai air force said it was striking military targets in several areas and accused Cambodia of mobilising heavy weaponry and repositioning combat units.
