PHNOM PENH: Prime Minister Hun Manet has warned that the threat from mines and explosive remnants of war (ERWs) remains substantial in Cambodia.

He noted that the risks were further exacerbated by the Thai military's violations of Cambodia's sovereignty, such as the use of cluster bombs and artillery shells, which have destroyed homes, property and civilian infrastructure.
