The Singapore Army disposed of a 250-kg World War II aerial bomb early Thursday at a construction site near Changi Airport. The bomb, deemed too dangerous to move, is located within the Changi East development area, where Terminal 5 is under construction.
Public areas will remain unaffected by this disposal. In 2023, Singapore's military successfully detonated a 100-kg wartime bomb, which resulted in the evacuation of over 4,000 residents. This incident underscores the continued presence of wartime explosives in urban areas and the safety measures required during development projects.
