A villager says he heard a sharp sound and saw smoke rising. Local residents were in 'a panic, seeking a safe place', he said.
Twenty soldiers have been killed in a huge explosion at a military base in southwestern Cambodia. Others were wounded and the blast tore holes in the roofs of nearby houses. Guards tried to keep reporters away from the site in Kampong Speu province on Sunday. Images showed several badly damaged buildings on the base, at least one with its roof blown off. It appears to be in a large field, with no civilian structures close by.
Another villager, who asked to be named only as Sophal, said he heard a sharp sound, saw smoke rising, and thought it was an explosion at the arms depot. The military immediately closed the road to the base, he said, and 'villagers were in a panic, seeking a safe place'.
