Residential Construction Results in UXO Finds

Zamboanga City, Philippines Construction workers working to add an addition to a residential property uncovered 22 UXO items. The homeowner notified the police who responded with a local bomb squad to transport the items for disposal. Once the ordnance was removed, construction resumed and three days later another seven rounds were uncovered.

The discovery of items prompted the local city police information officer to advise homeowners and construction workers to be cautious while building a house or digging on their property.
