Defence force divers discovered an explosive ordinance on the ocean’s floor at Army Bay in New Zealand and neutralised the device on Thursday, December 14.

The team had to work under the assumption that the ordinance was live, using plastic explosives to detonate what turned out to be a drill round, stuff.co.nz reported. According to reports, the device likely dated back to the 1950s and would have been used in submarine warfare. Credit: New Zealand Defence Force via Storyful
