MD82B
A Vietnamese-made anti-personnel mine found at demining sites in Cambodia. It is officially recorded as one of the anti-personnel mines that CMAC keeps for research, training, and museum display.
History
The Landmine Monitor 2010 records an accident in which a worker was slightly injured by a Vietnamese-made MD82B mine during clearance work. According to CMAC, the Vietnamese (North Vietnamese) army first laid mines in Cambodia in 1967, and mines made in various countries, including Vietnam, were brought into the country between Vietnam's 1979 invasion of Cambodia and its withdrawal in 1989, as well as during the civil war that followed. In the Cambodian government's Article 7 report, the MD82B is declared as one of the anti-personnel mines that CMAC keeps and transfers (for museum display in Siem Reap, training, and research).

Dangers
This is an anti-personnel mine that explodes when stepped on. It is dangerous enough that even demining experts have had accidents with it. If you find one, never go near it or touch it — tell an adult or an organization such as CMAC.
