Explosives Found Near Election Unit in Chumphon

Three grenades and nearly 100 machine gun rounds were discovered just 50 metres from an election unit in Chumphon province on February 1. A worker accidentally kicked a suspicious bag while cutting palms, revealing the explosives. Authorities secured the area and called in the EOD unit, which found three South Korean-made practice grenades and 82 rusted machine gun rounds. The explosives were safely detonated at the site. Police are investigating their origin, as the area has previously hosted Cobra Gold military exercises.
