Twenty Cambodian Soldiers Killed In Ammunition Explosion at Military Base
An ammunition explosion at a base in Kampong Speu province, Cambodia on Saturday afternoon killed 20 soldiers and wounded several others, Prime Minister Hun Manet said. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the blast. Four buildings — three for storage and one work facility — were destroyed and several military vehicles damaged, and twenty-five houses were damaged as well. Cambodia, like many countries in the region, has been suffering from an extended heat wave, and the province where the blast took place registered a high of 39 C (102 F) on Saturday. While high temperatures normally can’t detonate ammunition, they can degrade the stability of explosives over a period of time, with the risk that a single small explosion can set off a fire and a chain reaction. |

If it's a military base, there should be some security camera footage. THAT would be interesting! |

The host of the motorbike tour sounds like he threw up a little in his mouth... but good vomit retention skills. |
