The 227-kg bomb found in Quang Tri


The US-produced MK-82 bomb is 1.54m long and weighs 227 kilos. It was moved to a safe area to await deactivation.

Tri Village is quite far from the commune centre, so it has taken more time to relocate the bomb.

PeaceTrees Vietnam are responsible for clearing bombs and mines in the districts of Huong Hoa and Dakrong in Quang Tri.

Bombs are commonly found in Quang Tri.
