Cambodia: War-era explosives in premises force Queen Kosomak High School to close | Oneindia News

Thousands of pieces of unexploded ordnance left over from Cambodia’s civil war have been unearthed inside a school in the country’s north-east. Deminers discovered more than 2,000 explosives, including more than 1,000 M79 grenades, inside the grounds of a high school in Kratie province over a span of 3 days. The explosive remnants were found after the school cleared land to expand a garden. Deminers are of the opinion that if the whole school were cleared, more would likely be dug up. Since then, the Queen Kosomak High School has been closed temporarily. Images circulated on social media showed some of the masses of dug-up explosives, rusted over and stacked in rows. Students were told to stay away from the school until the clean-up was complete, which was expected to take two days.
