AMBON - Personnel of the Maluku Regional Police Mobile Brigade Bomb Disposal Unit destroyed a projectile type military bomb found by residents in Soya Country, Sirimau District, Ambon City.

"According to the investigation by Jibom unit personnel, this type of projectile military bomb has a length of 47 centimeters and a diameter of 8.9 centimeters, and weighs 11.5 kilograms," said Head of Public Relations of Ambon Island Police and PP Lease Ipda Janet Luhukay, quoted by ANTARA, Monday, July 3.

According to him, residents found objects from the colonial era in the RT 003/RW 01 Soya Country, Sirimau District, Ambon City, named Juan Huwaa (8) on Sunday (2/7) at around 13.30 WIT.

The discovery of the explosives was then reported by witness Juan to his family Agustinus Huwaa until it was reported to members of Bhabinkamtibmas and carried out location security.

At 16.30 WIT, personnel from the Jibom Unit of the Maluku Police Mobile Brigade Unit led by Ipda Bahar Batu arrived at the location and carried out security led by Sirimau Police Chief AKP Sally Lewerissa for the extermination process.

"However, before the disposal or destruction was carried out, Jibom personnel carried out sterilization at the site of the destruction around the Wai Erenguang Bridge in Soya Country," explained Janet.

The projectile type military bomb was destroyed using a blending mapping. Then carried out cleaning of debris by Jibom personnel.

However, at the time of cleaning up the object, it had not been completely destroyed, so a phase two disposal or destruction was carried out and the debris was transported to the Mobile Brigade Headquarters.

Janet said this type of projectile military bomb had actually been found by another witness named Bryan Huwaa (18) who was Juan's brother several years ago in the vicinity of the Huwaa family cemetery.

On the advice of Leonora Huwaa, Briyan's biological mother, the object was dumped, but Juan found it again when he was playing with his colleagues around the family cemetery.
