Cambodia has welcomed the return of two wounded soldiers captured by the Thai army. Their capture came after a ceasefire ended five days of combat over disputed territory.

Thailand's military said that there had been attacks by Cambodian troops in at least five locations early on Tuesday, violating the ceasefire.

A fragile truce between Cambodia and Thailand held for a second day on Wednesday, despite mutual accusations of violations, and Cambodia took military attaches and diplomats to a border checkpoint destroyed by fighting to verify the ceasefire.
