VietNamNet Bridge – A group of bridge builders were working at a construction site near the National Highway in Nghi Loc district, Nghe An province when a bomb exploded, blowing away a stake press and injuring two workers on the afternoon of April 10.

It is reported that these workers were pressing concrete stakes to make a bridge cross the Cam River when a blast came from the earth. The explosion blew the stake presser up by 5 meters.

The cabin was broken and filled up by mud and soil. The driver named Nguyen Van Hung was heavily injured. Two workers standing near the machine were blown away, one was wounded.

The pressure from the explosion caused a 10m long, 3-4m deep crack on the National Highway 1, causing congestion for several hours.

Injured workers were brought to a nearby hospital. The site was blocked for investigation.

It is said that a bomb left from war exploded when it was hit by the concrete steak press.

On April 9, a man named Nguyen Van Minh in Tuy Phong district, Binh Thuan province, burned grass on his field when a bomb exploded. Minh died on the way to hospital. Mr. Le Van Thin, a passer-by, was seriously injured. He is in critical condition now.
