After receiving information about the unexploded ordnance, an engineer unit under the Phu Yen provincial Military Command blocked the area within a radius of two kilometers around the site and deployed troops for round-the-clock safeguarding.

Due to the difficult terrain, the bomb could not be transported elsewhere, so the troops had to detonate it in the place.
