From the Zamboanga Today (Nov 26): Unexploded explosives found in conflict areas

The Explosive and Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit of Zamboanga City Police Office continues to recover the unexploded ordnances in the conflict areas.

Report showed that residents who were permitted to return to their homes located at the Barangays Sta. Catalina, Sta. Barbara, Rio Hondo, Mariki and Kasanyangan, all in this city, started to clean the debris in their surroundings.

The bomb squad team of the local police under SPO4 Wilfredo Fox has retrieved a stun grenade at Ayer Village, Sta. Barbara last Friday while another CTG 40mm HEDP was found at Martha Drive, Sta. Catalina.

SPO4 Fox said that they constantly remind the residents returning to their respective homes in the conflict area to watch out and be careful of unexploded ordnance which is still dangerous and can still inflict harm to people.

He added that the recovered ordnances were brought to their headquarters together with the other recovery for safekeeping.

Police and military EOD led the clearing operation during the Phase 2 after the 3-week Zamboanga siege.

Recently, the recovered ordnances from the conflict areas with the assistance of the United States military bomb experts disposed about a ton of their recovery in Barangay Patalon, this city.
