KUANTAN, July 3 — An unexploded 250kg old aerial bomb, commonly used in World War Two, was uncovered at a housing project site in Bukit Goh here yesterday. Kuantan district acting police chief Supt Mohd Adli Mat Daud said the bomb was found by a housing contractor at about 2.50pm before a police team rushed to the location to conduct security control and investigation.

'The relevant method was implemented to reduce the impact of tremors on nearby residences estimated to be located about 200 metres from the bomb site and disposal was successfully carried out safely at 10 am,' he said in a media statement yesterday. Meanwhile, Mohd Adli advised the public not to handle any suspicious objects found, but instead to immediately contact the nearest police station for further action. — Bernama

Police in Japan are examining what appears to be an unexploded bomb found on a university campus in the western city of Hiroshima. Police say the object is about 90 centimeters long and about 25 centimeters in diameter. They believe it to be a wartime bomb. Police received a call around 10:20 a.m. on Tuesday. Workers found it in the ground at the site of a demolished building. Police have restricted access to the area due to the risk of an explosion. Ground Self-Defense Force personnel have also been called in. The construction site is on Hiroshima University's Kasumi campus, which is about 2 kilometers south of Hiroshima Station. During World War Two, there were military armories at the site of the campus. The university has cancelled all afternoon classes at the Kasumi campus.
