Zambia Army Bomb experts have destroyed five more Mortar bombs which were discovered by grave diggers at Chibwelelo Council Cemetery in Kapiri Mposhi District on Thursday.

This is in addition to the 109 mortar bombs which the Zambia Army destroyed after being found at the Kapiri Mposhi Dumpsite last week.

Zambia Army Lukanga Army Battle Training Area Commandant HABASUNE MPEZELE is concerned that unexploded Ordinances are now finding their way into the community.

Colonel MPEZELE says this is now posing a serious danger to property and human life.

He is appealing to civilians to stop encroaching in the Lukanga Army Training Area and picking unexploded Ordinances.

And Kapiri Mposhi Town Council Secretary COLLINS NDILEMA is appealing to civilians to stop encroaching in the restricted area and picking anything that they find.
