Phnom Penh: Thai soldiers pulled back from a disputed stretch of the Cambodian border on Tuesday, a Cambodian general on the scene said.
The military pullout came shortly before the expiry of a conflict deadline set by Phnom Penh.
"They pulled out from our land," General Chea Mon said by phone from the vicinity of the Preah Vihear temple, which lies at the heart of the border dispute.
"The situation seems to have returned to normal," he said.
