“If you ever come across anything suspicious like this item, please do not pick it up, contact your local law and/or enforcement agency for assistance”.
Australian Defence Force explosive ordnance disposal specialists have touched down in Nauru to support the safe disposal of a World War II-era 500-pound bomb as part of Operation Render Safe. The two specialists arrived in Nauru on 4 December at the invitation of the government of Nauru to inspect the unexploded ordnance, which was discovered during works at an industrial site. Additional specialists arrived in early December to collaborate with local police and the Nauru government to generate plans for the disposal of the ordnance. The announcement comes as Australia continues to step up engagement across the Pacific. In early December, the Commonwealth announced that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his Papua New Guinean counterpart, the Honourable James Marape, formally signed a bilateral security agreement between the two nations.
