Army bomb disposal unit safely detonate item on Welsh beach
THE Army's bomb disposal unit were called out to safely detonate an item found on a Welsh beach near Powys.
HM Coastguard Borth reported on Friday, May 30, that it had been called out to Ynyslas beach on Thursday evening, following reports of possible ordnance found on the beach, north of Aberystwyth.
'The team were called out yesterday at 6.06pm to reports of possible ordnance at Ynyslas beach,' said HM Coastguard Borth in a post on its Facebook page on Friday.
'Due to the tide coming in, the object was photographed and assessed and then the team were called out again today at 3pm when the tide uncovered the item, along with the Army EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) unit to safely detonate it.
'There are many items of ordnance washed up on the beaches locally. If you see anything you suspect to be ordnance do not pick up or move it.
'Call 999, ask for coastguard and give (as) an exact a location as you are able.
'Remember, if you see anyone in difficulty on the cliffs, shoreline or out to sea call 999 and ask for the coastguard.'
