WHAT IS UXO AND WHY IS IT DANGEROUS?
Unexploded ordnance (UXO) are explosive devices such as grenades and bombs that failed to detonate. In the UK, they often come from WWII-era bombs, abandoned allied ordnance, or munitions left at military sites.
UXO becomes more sensitive over time, posing significant explosion risks. They can cause severe injury or death, and some may contain chemical weapons, creating environmental hazards. Size or shape doesn’t indicate danger; even small items can be hazardous. Always contact the police or specialists like S.I UXO if you encounter a suspicious item.
