The police are conducting a search of a recently uninhabited island in the Maldives’ remote north after a group of boys discovered boxes of non-lethal bullets in an old water well.
Confirming the find, a police spokesman said: “The bullets found were not loaded with gun powder, but ones used in military training exercises.”
The police have declined to name the island involved in the search, but local media have identified it as Kumburudhoo in Haa Dhaal Atoll, an island declared uninhabited in 2011.
The group of boys brought the bullets back to the island of Nolhivaram.
