AFM Safely Neutralise WWII Unexploded Ordnance
The Armed Forces of Malta (AFM) have safely removed a German WWII-era air-dropped unexploded ordnance that was uncovered during excavation works.
The operation was carried out by the AFM’s Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Platoon, 3rd Regiment, with support from their Conventional Munitions Disposal (CMD) Engineers.
Thanks to their work, public safety was ensured and the ordnance was neutralised without incident.
The AFM reminds the public to always stay cautious:
- Do NOT move or tamper with suspicious items
- Photos are fine, but don’t disturb the object
- Call 112 immediately
When in doubt, always treat any suspicious item as unexploded ordnance and follow these safety steps.
