Moldovan army destroys surplus bombs with OSCE expertise

The destruction of surplus ammunition is crucial for non-proliferation, regional stability, and the safety of civilians. The OSCE Mission to Moldova has been working with the Moldovan Ministry of Defence on ammunition disposal projects since 2007. The disposal of air bombs in July 2011 was the latest in a series of projects.
