A 200kg bomb in Huong Hoa district, Quang Tri province was safely removed and deactivated on August 17 by the provincial Military Command and staff of the RENEW project. Some local people found the bomb on August 16 at the former Lang Vay army base in Huong Hoa district. The bomb, 1.5m long with a diameter of about 80cm, was dropped by the U.S. army in 1968 to prevent the uprising of local people and soldiers during the campaign to liberate Huong Hoa district.
