DEADLY border clashes have erupted between Thailand and Cambodia with both sides launching terrifying strikes.

Thailand deployed F-16 fighter jets to strike military bases after Cambodia reportedly fired rockets at a border village.

Cambodia’s attacks left at least two civilians dead with a five-year-old child also among those injured.

Surasant Kongsiri, representing the Thai Defense Ministry, stated that the injuries occurred after Cambodia fired into a residential zone in Thailand’s Surin province.

Thailand has now sealed the land border with Cambodia amid the escalating tensions.

British citizens have been urged to “take extra care” when travelling between Thailand and Cambodia.

The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office warned the clashes are highly volatile.
