On the morning of October 8, Mr. Vo Ta Ki - Chairman of Cam Due Commune People's Committee - said that the commune had reported to Cam Xuyen District People's Committee about the discovery of a bomb in the area so that the district could direct functional units to salvage and handle it.
The bomb is currently sealed off and kept in its original state pending disposal.
According to Mr. Ki, on the afternoon of October 7, the construction unit was digging the edge of the Ngan Mo River near Cho Vuc Bridge (Phuong Tru village, Cam Due commune) when they suddenly discovered a water bomb weighing about 500kg.
Immediately afterwards, the construction unit reported to the local authorities for processing.
It is known that in 2020, a bomb of similar size was also discovered in this area, weighing about 400 - 500kg.
Local authorities believe these are bombs dropped by the US and left over from the war.
