On July 6, the NPA/RENEW Mobile bomb handling team (EOD) confirmed that it had promptly handled two emergency calls from people in Quang Tri province and safely destroyed three dangerous cluster bombs.
Previously, on July 3, Ms. Hoang Thi Tinh (51 years old, residing in Rao Truong village, Ben Quan commune, Quang Tri province) discovered a bomb located near the cultural house and kindergarten of the village.
Worried that someone would be in danger, Ms. Tinh called the hotline of the NPA/RENEW Mobile bomb and mine treatment team (EOD).
Upon receiving the information, the mobile bomb handling team immediately arrived, identifying it as a BLU-61 cluster bomb and safely destroyed the bomb on the spot.
After that, Mr. Nguyen Van Lap (Khe Lap village, Dong Ha ward, Quang Tri province) discovered a cluster bomb while planting cajuput. The mobile bomb and mine handling team used a sweepter and discovered another cluster bomb and safely destroyed both bombs.
It is known that although cluster bombs are small, they are a serious threat for decades after the war.
In the first six months of 2025 alone, the NPA/RENEW Mobile bomb handling (EOD) Team received 175 calls to the hotline and safely destroyed 331 explosives.
