      They’re referring to landmines, leftover from that region’s wars of the mid-20th century: America’s Vietnam & Cambodian war, French-Indochina war, Cambodian civil war, etc.

      The legacy of landmines and chemical warfare is still regularly killing, maiming, and causes significant increases in fetal birth defects and other rare illnesses.
