Fasting in Ramadan to Feel Thirsty

Question
A person fasting in Ramadan deliberately broke their fast because they felt thirsty, what are the consequences of their action?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: He must make expiation and make up for the fast due to breaking it; for breaking the fast is only permitted in cases of necessity, such as the loss of life or a limb, and God knows best.
