BREAKING NEWS: Australian "Bomb Expert" & Cambodian Soldier Killed in Russian Bomb Explosion at Shooting Range

Breaking news from Cambodia can be found here. CEO often finds Khmer news and translates it into English for our readers if it is interesting to expats, locals, Cambodians living abroad and anyone who wants to stay informed of the latest local and international news stories about Cambodia and our neighbors in South East Asia. There are many sources for Khmer news articles and they can all be found here in one place. Most of the media comes out of Phnom Penh, Siem Reap or Sihanoukville, but we cover national Cambodian news from all provinces.

 All the ranges where tourists can pay to go fire weapons are on RCAF land, whether it be part of a base or a training area.

Pedro's will most likely be able to tell you the exact location
There's so much military land around Kampong Speu that i don't suppose he would know the exact location of the shooting range anyway, unless he's in the Cambodian army or something. Lol. They say there's another one nearer to PP ?

The Cambodian army brass keep insisting that the Australians were just having a fun day out with their good mates the Cambodian soldiers and that no money exchanged hands. Sounds legit.

I remember years ago two guys were refuelling a truck loaded with rockets/missiles in Takhmao.

Anyway, they couldn't see how full the tank was, so one of them struck a match

 Do we know where this happened ? Is it a real army training ground, or was it a set up for tourists that like to pay to play with guns ?
Used to see ads in the PP tuktuks for this sort of thing.
He has a splintered right hand and shrapnel injuries indicating an explosion upwards from his right flank. He obviously grasped an unexploded ordinance

Walking through a minefield with unexploded mines is pretty "out there" for a tourist trip IMO.
I thought they would be blowing away target goats or cows or something with AKs. Maybe the victim thought so too. RIP.

The weapon which caused the deaths and injuries was a hand grenade, not a mine, they were not walking through a mine field.
