A 250-kilogram bomb discovered by a fisherman in central Vietnam’s Quang Tri Province was salvaged from the local Thach Han River by military officers on Tuesday.
In an attempt that took over three hours, the unexploded bomb disposal unit under the Quang Tri Military High Command, in cooperation with experts from the local Golden West Humanitarian Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit working on removal of unexploded ordnance (UXO), managed to pull the bomb out of the Thach Han river section in Quang Tri Town.
