Where do you think this kind of mortar bombs came from? Like, share and drop a comment.
Some fishermen in Kenya have received the shock of their lives after their net caught a metallic box with six mortar bombs inside, instead of catching a fish. There is no doubt that what they were expecting to see was either a shark or other sea animal, but they caught mortar bombs which which had rusted due to its contact with water and atmospheric oxygen.
BBC News Pidgin reported that on seeing the metallic box with mortar bombs, the two fishermen quickly jumped into the lake as they thought the bombs were going to detonate, while the rest fishermen moved the boat from the water to a dry land. The Fishermen called the attention of the beach authorities who contacted the Police that came to the scene.

The major reason why they bomb did not detonate could be because of the fact that the metallic parts had been oxidized by oxygen and water which in turn must have led to the reduced potency of the mortar bomb. One would imagine where this kind of mortar bombs came from as they have the shape of a fish which made the fishermen thought initially that they had caught a big fish.

It did not detonate cos it's connected to a trigger which has not been set off.

Na wah o oga, mortar ain't a bomb, mortar is shot from a mortar tube just like an artillery and it detonates on impact

This will probably lead to the discovery of another crashed war plane of the WW11 Era. So many War planes were said to drown in the Indian ocean during that time and with that box and a well arranged explosives inside it, I won't be surprise if it is later discovered to from one of those downed USSR planes.
