Tensions between Cambodia and Thailand have boiled over and the two sides have exchanged fire, which has killed at least 11 civilians.
Both sides have accused each other of instigating the clashes causing diplomatic relations to fall to their lowest level in over a decade.
Phumtham Wechayachai, Thailand's acting Prime Minister has said that ‘Cambodia fired heavy weapons into Thailand without specific targets so civilians were killed.’
Whilst Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet said his country has always maintained a position of peaceful resolution of problems, but ‘we have no choice but to respond with armed force against armed aggression.’
