Over one tonne of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and remnants of war were cleared from a sunken warship in the Mekong River in Kampong Cham province on Sunday, increasing the total amount recovered to more than six tonnes since its discovery on November 5, 2020… link Ship is said to be "a war remnant from the 1970s" |

No mention of whose ship it was. |

It mentions Lon Nol, a general in Cambodia who led the coup in 1970 so it was probably sunk at that time. |

I suspect there are many, many more UXO in that region … |
