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.

Long-simmering tensions between Thailand and Cambodia escalated to deadly violence on July 24, setting off five days of military clashes at multiple spots along the roughly 800-kilometer (500 mile) border.
