The Armed Forces of Malta have successfully removed unexploded ordnance from both Rabat and Birżebbuġa, continuing their ongoing work to make our communities safer from the remnants of World War II. Historical explosive items continue to be found across Malta, serving as a sobering reminder of the islands' strategic importance during the conflict [1].

The disposal operations highlight the AFM's critical role in protecting residents from hidden dangers that still lurk beneath our towns and villages. Each discovery and safe removal is a delicate operation requiring specialist training and equipment to ensure no harm comes to the public.

For residents living in areas where such finds are reported, these operations underscore the importance of reporting any suspicious objects to the authorities immediately rather than attempting to investigate them independently.
