| On the second working day at the site, PeaceTrees Vietnam's team found two cluster munitions: one BLU24 (locally called smooth orange bombs) and one M83, commonly known as the " butterfly="" bomb". |

 |
| The clearance work will be continued and expectedly completed earlier next week and the team will hand over the safe site to local authority. People will soon have safe place to live. |
