The NPA team leader decided to dispose of the Mk82bomb in the location it was found. The team coordinated with local authorities to set up a safety cordon for the demolition. Following the safe demolition, the villagers thanked the NPA team for their fast and efficient response to increased public safety.

NPA Vietnam would like to thank the governments of the United States and Norway for supporting teams and NPA mine action work in Thua Thien Hue province.
