Engineering Company under Military Headquarters of Dak Lak Province has defused a number of unexploded ordnance (UXO) left after the war. During their mine and bomb clearance at a construction site for expanding Buon Ma Thuot Airport, sappers found nearly 40 of 60mm and 82mm mortar shells, ammunition M79 and flares. According to Lieutenant Y Nam Bya, these UXO were roughly disposed of and then gathered in a safer area for detonation. Over the past two months, 14 sappers from Engineering Company have tracked UXO on an area of more than 14 hectares, and they have been doing their utmost to transfer land without UXO to the project holder.
