Rocket blast injures soldiers near Samdach PM Hun Sen's home

Rockets exploded on Sunday at a Cambodian military base near the prime minister's residence, state-run television said, and military officials said the incident was an accident.
Military and police officials said the explosion was caused by a fire started accidentally by a mechanic working on a truck at the base on the southern outskirts of the capital, Phnom Penh.
"A truck driver and his assistant were wounded, one of them seriously," TVK television said in a statement issued by the office of Prime Minister Hun Sen.
At least nine trucks were damaged in the fire.
"A number of rockets were accidentally fired from the truck," a military security guard told Reuters.
It was not known if the prime minister was at home when the explosions occurred.
