Thailand launched airstrikes along the disputed border with Cambodia on Monday (Dec 8) as both sides accused the other of breaking a ceasefire that halted fighting earlier this year.

At least five people have reportedly been killed - four Cambodian civilians and one Thai soldier.

"Our military actions will continue until Thailand's sovereignty and territorial integrity are not compromised," the Thai foreign ministry said on Monday evening.

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Manet said his government's immediate tasks were to protect the people and the country's sovereignty.
