350kg wartime bomb tackled in northern Vietnam
VOV.VN - The Military High Command in the northern mountainous province of Son La and competent agencies have transported a wartime bomb recently unearthed by residents to a site for safe detonation.
The explosive device was detected in Hua La commune of Son La city on February 1 by a group of workers when an excavator was used at the location.
The bomb, about around 1.2 metres in length and 350kg in weight, was left over during the war of resistance against US imperialists and the detonator remained intact.
Alongside the disposal of the bomb, competent forces also conducted a search of the surrounding area as they sought explosives still underground in order to ensure the safety of local people.
