Civilians who fled fighting between Thailand and Cambodia have begun returning home, as 10 days of border clashes eased.
Tens of thousands of villagers had been staying in temporary camps and temples as troops exchanged artillery fire in jungle areas both sides claim.
A truce agreed on 28 April did not end the fighting but reduced its intensity.
The clashes, which began on 22 April, have killed 17 people, including one civilian.
"These people have returned to their houses because the situation now is calm," said Pech Sokhen, the governor of Cambodia's Oddar Meanchey province.
