Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>UNEXPLODED ordnances (UXO), especially landmines, remain a concern particularly in the northern parts of the country, the Namibian police have warned.<\/p>\n

Deputy Commissioner Kauna Shikwambi, head of Nampol\u2019s public relations division, said the discovery was made recently during construction work being done alongside the main road between Eenhana and Okongo, a stretch of about 12 km.<\/p>\n

Shikwambi said a team of Nampol\u2019s Explosives Division was deployed to the area at the end of October. The demining operation started on 1 November and will conclude on 18 November.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Namibian nation is reminded of the slogan \u2018Don\u2019t touch it, Report it\u2019 to ensure that lives are not lost,\u201d she said. Shikwambi stated that most of the explosives found are of South African and former Soviet Union origin.<\/p>\n
