230kg wartime bomb removed in Phu Yen
Sappers in the central province of Phu Yen on March 3 safely detonated a bomb weighing 230 kg left over from wartime.
After receiving information on the whereabouts of the explosive device, a sapper unit under the Phu Yen military command had laid siege to an area of within 2-km radius around the site and deployed troops for round-the-clock safeguarding.
Due to difficult terrain, the bomb could not be transported elsewhere so sappers had to detonate it in place.
