MNDF destroys washed up missile

The Maldives National Defence Force (MNDF) has destroyed a broken missile that washed up ashore last week on the island of Goidhoo in Noonu Atoll.
An MNDF expert was dispatched to the island to study the missile, who determined that it was a naval missile.
As the expert believed the broken missile could still pose a danger depending on the way it was handled, the missile was safely disposed of around 4.15pm yesterday.
