The bomb was moved to Hang Ruong Mountain in Ha Tan commune for destruction.

The bomb, 30cm in diameter and 1.6m in length, was dropped on the commune by U.S. troops during the war in Vietnam.

Troops from the provincial military commands and local militia force joined hands to safely remove the bomb and move it to Hang Ruong Mountain in Ha Tan commune for destruction. The bomb was destroyed and absolute safety for all participants was ensured.

This is the 14th bomb that the provincial military engineer force has handled in 2020.
