A 100-kg wartime bomb was discovered by workers at Viet Tri Port in the northern province of Phu Tho this week, measuring 40 cm in diameter and 1.5 m in length.
According to authorities of Ben Got Ward, where the bomb was found on Wednesday, it is the type of bomb used by the U.S. Air Force to attack the Viet Tri port and wharf area from 1970 to 1972.
Local authorities immediately secured the area, set up warning signs, and blocked access to both people and vehicles. The city People’s Committee and the provincial Military Command were promptly notified for urgent action.
The military command directed the Viet Tri military command to collaborate with relevant agencies to clear the site and establish safe access routes for the bomb’s removal.
Residents were urged not to handle or attempt to disarm any discovered bombs, mines, or explosive materials themselves. They were advised to notify local military authorities to ensure safe and proper disposal, thereby avoiding potential dangers.
Vietnam is among the countries most affected by unexploded ordnance (UXO).
Today, unexploded bombs and mines are hidden underground in almost all provinces and cities, with around 5.6 million hectares of land contaminated, equivalent to 17.71% of the country’s natural land area.
With joint efforts of the Vietnamese government and people and the support of the international community, over the past 50 years, since the Paris Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam was signed on Jan. 27, 1973, Vietnam has cleared nearly 2.5 million hectares of contaminated land to serve resettlement, ensure safety for people, and build economic works.
