Two bomb defusers from Great Britain and Australia were killed in the Solomon Islands when remains of ordnance from World War II exploded in an office of the Norwegian People's Aid.
According to the Norwegian People's Aid, the bomb disposal workers were in action in the Solomon Islands to collect data on remains of ammunition from World War II.
Police said the men were carrying out unauthorized work with ammunition in a residential area in the capital Honiara. "We do not know exactly what led to the explosions.
However, initial investigations have shown that they stored some duds in the building and that they were doing work there," said Police Commissioner Clifford Tunuki. He added that authorities were unaware that there was leftover ammunition in the residential area.
Otherwise this would have been prevented, said Tunuki.
