Another landmine victim yesterday.
Landmine Explosion Kills One, Wounds Three
by Van Roeun | February 3, 2017
Villagers digging up tree stumps to make into furniture accidentally detonated an anti-personnel landmine in Oddar Meanchey province, killing a 65-year-old man and injuring his son and two others in the third landmine fatality of the year, officials said.
The man died instantly when the mine exploded about 4 p.m. on Thursday as the villagers dug up the stump of a luxury-grade tree at the foot of Dangrek mountain in Trapaing Prasat district, Sun Bourann, the district’s military commander, said Friday.
The area remains infested with anti-personnel landmines that were planted along the province’s border with Thailand in the 1980s, including many believed to be buried by the Khmer Rouge.
“The villagers dug up the Beng trunk, then used a chainsaw to cut off its root, but hit the landmine buried next to the root and detonated it,” Mr. Bourann said.
