Explosive Ordnance Disposal

The Indian Navy's explosive ordnance disposal team on Monday carried out a detailed inspection of merchant vessel MV Chem Pluto on its arrival at Mumbai harbour.

Six people were killed and 10 were injured this morning after an artillery shell exploded during handling near an ordnance depot in Maharashtra's Wardha. The 23 mm shell exploded while it was being unloaded for disposal, a defence official said. Four were killed on the spot, and two died during treatment at a hospital, the police said.

A local fishing vessel in New Orleans, USA, yesterday reeled in an unexploded military shell, leading to the area being closed as the Massachusetts State Police Bomb Squad and Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams were called.

Police and explosive ordnance disposal technicians removed a 1,000-pound bomb that failed to explode during World War II but that successfully brought traffic to a standstill Wednesday in a bustling Hong Kong neighborhood. It was the second bomb discovered in the area just this week.

Amid increasing terror attacks at home and abroad, a Chinese firm has introduced three robots specialising in reconnaissance, armed attack and moving and defusing a bomb.

Thirteen workers of Ordnance Factory Khamaria (OFK) have sustained minor injuries after a blast occurred in an explosive waste that was being disposed of on the campus in Jabalpur, an official said.

The Indian Navy has safely disposed of 90 unexploded ordnances, believed to be of World War II vintage, discovered during dredging operations in the Mumbai Harbour over the past few days, a defence official said in Mumbai on Friday.
