The army based in Stung Treng will recheck the conditions of all firearms and bullets following the deaths of two soldiers during a live fire exercise on Friday. Royal Cambodian Army spokesman Major General Mao Phalla  said  yesterday that the accident which happened in Thala Barivat district was caused by a crack in a mortar which resulted in a shell exploding inside.

 

“Two soldiers fired three shells during which the mortar became cracked. A fourth shell got stuck and exploded inside and killed the two soldiers,” Maj Gen Phalla said. He said both were sergeants had joined the army about three years ago. They had completed three months of mortar training, using blanks.

 

Maj Gen Phalla said after three months of practicing with blanks, all trainees must undergo a course using live ammunition and the two victims were doing that.
