Thailand has released 18 Cambodian soldiers it had detained since July under the renewed ceasefire the two countries agreed on the weekend to end a border conflict, Cambodian and Thai authorities said.⁣
⁣
The two sides agreed on a ceasefire that took effect at noon (0500 GMT) on Saturday December 20th, halting 20 days of fighting that killed at least 101 people and displaced more than half a million on both sides.⁣
⁣
The soldiers were due to be returned on Tuesday, but Thailand delayed the process over alleged breaches of the ceasefire deal, which Cambodia denied.⁣
⁣
Cambodian Defence Ministry spokesperson Maly Socheata said the soldiers were handed over at a border checkpoint at 10 a.m. (0300 GMT) on Wednesday after 155 days in Thai custody.⁣
⁣
Thailand's Foreign Ministry said the soldiers had been treated "in accordance with international humanitarian law and principles" during their time in detention.⁣
