Staff writer, with CNA
Two old landmines were found on Saturday on the western side of Kinmen’s Lieyu Township (烈嶼), the Coast Guard Administration (CGA) said yesterday.
The mines were spotted by a passerby, who informed local authorities late on Saturday, the agency said in a press release.
Members of its 9th Coastal Patrol Corps were dispatched to the site, where the objects were identified as US M3 landmines.
An examination determined that the rusty mines posed no immediate threat, and a military bomb disposal unit was called in, corps member Tian Tzu-ching (刁子敬) said.
