**8th October 2024 – (Hong Kong)** The Hong Kong police have successfully detonated a 500-pound Japanese aerial bomb from World War II in the waters near Sai Kung. The bomb was discovered by a member of the public last month, leading to swift action by the authorities.
The initial report came on 15th September when a citizen informed the police about a suspected bomb located 13 meters beneath the surface, to the east of Shek Ngau Chau. Following an investigation, police confirmed on 25th September that the object was indeed a WWII-era Japanese bomb.
The detonation was carried out in a well-coordinated operation involving the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Bureau (EOD), the Flying Tigers, the Water Assault Team, the Small Boat Division, and the Marine Police’s North Division and Unmanned Aircraft Team. The controlled explosion took place around 2:46 PM.
Video footage captured the moment of detonation, showcasing a large circular wave that sent water soaring into the air and stirred up sediment from the seabed, giving the surrounding waters a murky appearance. The explosion's force was visibly impressive.
警方在西貢水域引爆二戰日本炸彈
**2024年10月8日 – （香港）** 香港警方今天成功在西貢水域引爆一枚500磅的二戰日本空投炸彈。該炸彈是上個月由市民發現的，隨即通知當局。
最初的報告是在9月15日，一名市民向警方舉報在石牛洲東面水下13米處發現可疑炸彈。經過調查，警方於9月25日確認該物體確實是二戰期間的日本炸彈。
此次引爆是在一個良好協調的行動中進行的，參與單位包括爆炸品處理局（EOD）、飛虎隊、水上突擊隊、小艇科，以及海事警察北區和無人機隊。控制引爆大約在下午2:46進行。
視頻錄像捕捉到引爆的瞬間，顯示出一個巨大的圓形波浪，將水花噴射高空，並攪擾了海底的沉積物，令周圍水域變得渾濁。爆炸的威力十分驚人。
