Sulu military units disarm 2 unexploded 105mm rounds

From the Philippine News Agency (Dec 23): Sulu military units disarm 2 unexploded 105mm rounds
 
Military units conducting clearing operations in Patikul town, Sulu have recovered two unexploded 105mm rounds Wednesday morning.

Joint Task Group Sulu commander Brig. Gen. Alan Arrojado said the munitions were discovered by troopers from 1st Scout Ranger Battalion at Sitio Hagas-Hagas, Barangay Kabuntakas, Patikul at 10:40 a.m.

These troops immediately secured the unexploded 105mm rounds while responding explosive ordnance device teams disarmed and "rendered safe" the munitions before transporting it to a secure facility.

This is to prevent hostile forces from turning these items into improvised explosive devices which can be used with deadly effect against government forces, Arrojado said.
