Detecting and handling a 360kg bomb

A 360kg bomb was discovered on the bank of a stream in Lam Hoa commune (Tuyen Hoa).

Earlier, Mr. Hoang Quang Huy in Chuoi village, Lam Hoa commune, discovered a large bomb on the bank of a stream. He immediately informed the local authorities. Upon receiving a request from the Provincial Military Command, the MAG mobile bomb disposal team quickly arrived at the scene to deploy emergency measures to neutralize the threat.

Upon inspection, MAG experts determined that this was an M117 bomb, weighing approximately 360kg, with a lethal radius of up to 1.5km. After approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes of deployment, the bomb was safely disposed of and transported to a centralized detonation facility. It is expected that the bomb will be destroyed in the coming days, along with other explosives.

MAG's mobile bomb disposal team has safely handled and transported a large bomb to a centralized detonation area.

Since its inception in Quang Binh in 2002, MAG has received more than 6,000 reports from local residents about the discovery of explosives during farming, construction or daily activities. These reports have helped MAG promptly remove and safely handle more than 57,600 explosives from residential areas.
