Clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops at their disputed border have killed at least 12 people, Thai authorities say.

The fighting marks an escalation of a dispute between the two South East Asian neighbours that dates back more than a century.

Most of the casualties were civilians from three Thai provinces, according to Thailand's army, which also reported that several people were wounded. Cambodia has yet to confirm whether it suffered any casualties.

Both sides exchanged gunfire early on Thursday, with each claiming the other had triggered the conflict. It escalated quickly, with Thailand accusing Cambodia of firing rockets and Bangkok carrying out air strikes on Cambodian military targets.

Thailand has closed its border with Cambodia, while Cambodia has downgraded its ties with Thailand, accusing its military of using "excessive force".

WTF is going on? Bombing 7-11s now?
