LAOS-U.S.-CLUSTER MUNITIONS

(230712) -- VIENTIANE, July 12, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on July 2, 2009 shows an unexploded ordnance clearance activity held in Xiengkhuang Province, Laos. According to a monitor, the United States dropped 413,130 tons of cluster munitions over Vietnam between 1965 and 1973. Concurrent with the Vietnam War, the United States dropped some 260 million cluster bombs on neighboring Laos, making Laos "the most heavily bombed nation in history." Laos is hence contaminated by about 80 million cluster submunitions, affecting 17 provinces and resulting in 300 casualties per year, said a Red Cross report, making the country with the world's highest level of cluster munition contamination.
