Solomons police to blow up WW2 bombs

The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team will be conducting the bomb blasting operations from Friday 15th to Monday 19th.

The Solomon Star quoted the officer in charge, Inspector Clifford Tunuki, saying the planned detonation sites are at Ringgi in Kolombangara and Munda on New Georgia.

He said the ordnance, which was more than 75 years old, posed a threat to the local population.
