A hasty funeral has already taken place for 20 Cambodian soldiers killed on April 27 afternoon by an explosion that left many others wounded at Military Base 3 in southeast Kampong Speu province, and shattered windows up to a kilometer away.
Prime Minister Hun Manet said in a Facebook post that he was “deeply shocked” after being informed of the blast. But the cause remains unknown and apart from online comments, no official explanation has been offered for bereaved families.
He also said Defense Minister Tea Seiha and Vong Pisen, commander-in-chief of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, had organized the funerals at the government’s expense and that the families of each soldier killed would receive US$20,000 in compensation.
