What a shame. Why were they playing with an unexploded shell? I guess kids will be kids

That is a huge number. I wouldn't have realized so many.

I bet Crapnel planted it there....

All these deaths for nothing.

The main problem is landmines. That's why lots of countries have banned their use.

Sorry thing is, countries who ban them, will probably be the first to use them if they were ever invaded by a greater force.
