Bullet parts discovered on Maldives island

Parts of bullets used in military training exercises have been discovered on an island in north-central Raa Atoll, according to the police.

The bullet parts were found during a drug operation on Dhuvaafaru Island, a spokesman said.

Mohamed Jameel, a member of the Dhuvaafaru Council, said that police and military officers had been active on the island since Tuesday night.

“This morning police with a small group of soldiers started an operation. A few houses have been raided with court orders and around five men were summoned for questioning,” he said.
