Intense fighting near the Thailand-Cambodia border is entering its second day, with deadly clashes breaking out.
The UN Security Council is to hold a behind closed doors emergency meeting on the crisis, due to commence at 1500 ET (1900 GMT).
On Thursday, Thailand's military said it carried out airstrikes on the Cambodian side of the border after it said the Cambodian army launched artillery shells over the Thai border. But will it escalate into a full-on war? DW's David Hutt explains the background to the border dispute, and whether the crisis will get worse.
This blog will bring you the latest on the situation, as well as news, videos and DW analysis on the crisis.
