Fresh clashes between Thai and Cambodian troops have reportedly left at least 11 people dead from both sides along the disputed Thailand-Cambodia border.

The current round of clashes began on Friday and both sides have been using long range heavy artillery, military commanders on both sides confirmed.

In his weekly television show, Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said that sporadic clashes have taken place with Cambodia.

"We have no intention to invade or attack anyone," and that it is a duty to protect the country's sovereignty, he said.
