Engineers from the Technology Center for Bomb and Mine Disposal dealing with the large bomb 
The nearly 1,400kg MK 118 bomb, which is 2.9m in length and 0.6m in diameter, was found on the bottom of the river.

The US-made bomb was dropped by the US Air Force in wartime and remained unexploded since then.

Consequently, the bomb was collected and moved to a safe location for disposal, thanks to the quick response and professionalism of BOMICEN troops.

Earlier, the BOMICEN worked with the Hanoi Capital Military Command’s engineers to defuse another huge bomb in Dai Gia hamlet, Phu Thuy commune, Phu Xuyen district, Hanoi.
