War-left US aerial bomb safely removed in Cambodia

A Cambodian Mine Action Center (CMAC)’s expert team on Tuesday (Oct 10) safely removed a war-left US-made MK-82 aerial bomb from an area on the northwestern suburb of Phnom Penh, a mine clearance chief said.

CMAC’s Director-General Heng Ratana said the team discovered the unexploded bomb and safely transported it to the CMAC’s disposal center.

“Buried underground for over 50 years, but it looks fine for both shape and quality,” he announced the find on social media. “Today, in Prek Pnov district on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, a CMAC’s Explosive Remnants of War expert team safely removed and transported this aerial bomb.”
