"I heard a lot of explosions yesterday from morning until evening. Today, I heard it the whole morning and it went quiet just moments ago. I saw a lot of people leaving today. I’m a bit scared too. Now we are packed up and ready to leave like them too, but we’re still not sure where to go. Maybe to the homes of our relatives who live quite far away."

STORYLINE:
A major escalation in fighting between Thailand and Cambodia prompted mass evacuations from border areas Friday.
Thai civilians are packing up to escape the artillery hit zones, which saw over a dozen killed in Thailand on Thursday.
A roadside gas station in Sisaket province was hit by Cambodian artillery shelling and is now abandoned.
Evacuees in Sisaket were seen packing up vehicles with their belongings and heading away from the border.
Farmer Chudaporn Promsupa said she was preparing to leave with her family on Friday after hearing explosions through the previous day.
"I’m a bit scared too. Now we are packed up and ready to leave like them too, but we’re still not sure where to go. Maybe to the homes of our relatives who live quite far away," she said.
The U.N. Security Council is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting on the crisis later Friday in New York, while Malaysia, which chairs a regional bloc that includes both countries, called for an end to hostilities and offered to mediate.
The fighting included gunfire exchanges and shelling and rocket fire, which Thai authorities said killed a Thai soldier and 13 civilians and wounded 14 soldiers and 32 other civilians. Thailand responded with air strikes.
