JASIN: A World War II-era bomb weighing over 200kg has been discovered at Felda Senggeh in Nyalas here.
Jasin OCPD Supt Mohamad Rusli Mat said the unexploded ordnance (UXO) was found by a settler at 1.47pm on Monday (July 14) while he was clearing the land.
He said the bomb disposal unit from district police headquarters was immediately deployed to the scene.
"Upon inspection, the device was confirmed to be an old UXO, probably from the World War II period, weighing close to 500 pounds (226kg),” he said on Monday (July 14).
Supt Mohamad Rusli added that the bomb will be detonated in a controlled explosion on Tuesday (July 15) in accordance with standard operating procedures.
Unexploded bombs can remain volatile even decades after they were deployed.
