The MK82 bomb, with its fuse still intact, was discovered on June 22 by workers excavating foundations for a primary school construction project. It was buried about 2.5 meters underground and measured 27.5cm in diameter and 1.55m in length.

Following the discovery, authorities evacuated residents and livestock from the area, established a safety perimeter, erected warning signs and maintained round-the-clock security until the bomb was safely removed and destroyed.

According to local military authorities, the MK82 is believed to be the largest wartime bomb ever found in the locality.
