Four types of US-made unexploded ordnance were unearthed by construction workers in Battambang town’s Chamkar Samrong commune yesterday, authorities said.

Battambang town deputy police chief In Rotha said that the ordnance were buried under a plot of land belonging to 54-year-old Chamkar Samrong resident Seng Kemsuor, who upon finding the dangerous materials handed them over to the Cambodian Mine Action Centre.

Pring Panharith, a CMAC official, said that the uncovered materials included 5 kilograms of M16 cartridges, six hand grenades, 29 M79 grenade launcher rounds and a claymore mine.

According to Panharith, the ordnance – some of which was still usable – were buried just half a metre underground. CMAC will now impound and detonate the explosives. “At first they found only two ordnance, but when we dug deeper we found more of them,” he said.
