PHNOM PENH, Dec 22 (AFP) - A Cambodian soldier has died after stepping on an old landmine near an ancient border temple that has been the scene of bloody clashes with Thailand, a commander said Tuesday.
The incident happened on Monday evening near the ancient eastern staircases of the 11th century Preah Vihear temple, said Major General Srey Doek, who oversees military operations in the area.
"The soldier stepped on an old landmine and lost both of his legs. He died at a hospital due to bleeding," he said.
