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

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.

Cambodia grenade fail (old video from around 2011)

If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

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

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.
