# The Thai army has launched airstrikes on ground targets in Cambodia, as tension over the border dispute escalates into clashes that have killed at least one civilian. Relations between the two South East Asian neighbours have deteriorated since May, when a Cambodian soldier was killed in clashes. The Thai embassy in the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh is urging its citizens to leave the country, warning that the conflict is likely to be prolonged and may expand further. Cambodia’s Defence Ministry has vowed to respond decisively.
