Halo Trust NGO Worker in Pursat Looks For Unexploded Landmines, Finds One, And Then It Explodes

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

My guess is that the heat played a part. Those guys must sweat like crazy in this heat wearing that protective gear, and certain (most?) explosives are more unstable at high temperatures.

He could have just been a little careless due to being more tired than usual from the excessive heat

There is always one that may go off. Remember also that many were booby trapped with another one or two beneath to catch you out.
