SINGAPORE: The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) will dispose of a 250kg World War II aerial bomb on Thursday (Apr 2), after it was found at a construction site along Tanah Merah Coast Road.
The war relic, discovered during construction works at 4.55am on Tuesday, was assessed as unsafe to move by the SAF Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team.
It will carry out an on-site disposal of the bomb between 2.30am and 4.30am on Thursday.
