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

Surasant Kongsiri, a spokesperson for the Thai Defense Ministry, said the wounded came after Cambodia fired shots into a residential area 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.
