Vietnam: Resuming Operations After Tet Holiday, RENEW/NPA Teams Safely Destroyed Dozens of Unexploded Ordnance


At a clearance site in Gio Hai Commune, Gio Linh District, RENEW/NPA clearance teams on Tuesday found 31 explosive items, including cluster munitions and other explosive ordnance, most of which was uncovered from a cache.

The team later safely destroyed these explosive munitions on-site before their working day ended. This was the first task conducted by the teams after resuming operations following a well-deserved two-week break to celebrate the Vietnamese Lunar New Year holiday.

In January 2022, the two clearance teams of RENEW/NPA cleared a total of 73,000 square meters and safely destroyed 65 explosive munitions in Nhi Trung Village.
