Explosion in Quang Tri

I just got an email from PeaceTrees Vietnam announcing an explosion in Quang Tri Province, the area from which I’ve been reporting about land mine issues for the past few weeks. According to Project RENEW, another NGO working in the area, “At 02:30 p.m on Wednesday, 27 January 2010, an explosion of wartime ordnance in a middle school playground in Dong Ha City, Quang Tri Province, shook walls and shattered windows, but the 550 students who were in class at the time escaped injury.” The RENEW Facebook Page explains more about what happened.
