Artillery Shell Found in Sriracha

Another unexplored shell was discovered this week this time in Tungsukhla District of Sriracha. The device was discovered in a ditch adjacent to a workers accommodation block. Police and bomb disposal technicians from Region 2 police headquarters were dispatched to handle the find.

They found a 105mm artillery shell approximately 24 inches long and 5 inches wide with a weight of about 30 Kg. The experts removed the device and took it away to be disposed of in a remote and desolate location.

It should be noted that there are not more shells being dumped around Thai communities but with the onset of the Hot season drainage ditches and water levels in ponds are low so these things become more easily visible.
