The incident happened in northwestern Battambang province on Friday when the unidentified villager “ran over an anti-tank landmine, the remnant of war,” Heng Ratana, director general of the government’s Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC), said in a Facebook post.
Two Cambodian deminers were killed on Thursday while trying to remove a decades-old anti-tank mine from a rice field that was once a battlefield between government forces and Khmer Rouge soldiers.
