Thailand returns two wounded Cambodian soldiers holds 18 of their comrades
Eighteen other Cambodian soldiers remain in Thai custody, with Cambodia demanding their immediate release under international humanitarian law, while Thailand states it is following legal procedures.
Both nations offer conflicting accounts of the soldiers' capture and continue to accuse each other of breaching the laws of war, including targeting civilians.
The recent fighting resulted in over three dozen deaths and displaced more than 260,000 people from their homes.
Despite a ceasefire, military representatives are scheduled to meet next week to discuss avoiding further clashes, though the underlying territorial claims will not be addressed.

Trump to be nominated for Nobel peace prize
President Donald Trump is being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Cambodia for helping to avert a deadly war in the region. Cambodia's Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol announced the decision on Friday, citing Trump's role in halting its border dispute with Thailand. Clashes between the two neighboring countries broke out late last week, with each accusing the other of firing first. At least 43 people were killed in intense skirmishes, which lasted five days and displaced more than 300,000 people on both sides of the border. Speaking to reporters earlier in the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh, Chanthol thanked Trump for intervening and said he deserved to be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize is the highest-profile international award given to an individual or organization deemed to have done the most to 'advance fellowship between nations'. Most recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nominated Trump for the prize for his work in 2020 negotiating the Abraham Accords between Israel and several other Arab nations. Netanyahu's letter to the prize committee, which he handed to the president at the White House during a visit on July 7, said Trump had 'created new opportunities to expand the circle of peace and normalization' in the Middle East. Trump has assisted Israel's war in Gaza and has also aided in its campaign against Iran, authorizing a mission in June to destroy Iran's nuclear enrichment sites. Pakistan also said in June that it would recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in helping to resolve a conflict it had with India back in May. The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded annually on December 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel's death. The ceremony is held in Oslo, Norway. After peace was declared between Cambodia and Thailand, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a post on X that Trump made it happen. 'Give him the Nobel Peace Prize!,' she said.
