Mortar shells unearthed near Iksan

Tuesday, 31 August 2010 09:36

Near the spring in GeumMaMeon, Iksan, some bombs were discovered. The military responded to a call and came out with a team of minesweepers. They discovered a cache of 9 mortar shells (60mm x 30cm) buried since the war. Even though they are likely too decomposed to detonate, the military has canvassed the area giving fliers with warnings and instructions to local residents. The metal detectors only have a range of 30cm deep. Call before you dig! Courtesy Jeonbuk Ilbo.
