Military Ordnance Found, Removed on USC, Lake Worth, Norfolk Beaches

Multiple incidents involving the discovery of military ordnance have prompted evacuations and bomb squad responses across different locations. At the University of Southern California campus, a bomb squad investigated a padded container suspected to contain military ordnance, leading to street closures but posing no public threat. In Florida, a silver tube marked as a military ordnance with a phosphorus warning was found on Lake Worth Beach, causing an evacuation of the beach, nearby parking lots, and road closures; the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Bomb Squad safely removed the device with no injuries reported. Similarly, at Holme Beach near Hunstanton, the coastguard and Explosive Ordnance Disposal squad removed six suspicious objects after maintaining a cordon for several hours. Authorities in all cases emphasized public safety and urged individuals to avoid handling suspicious items and to report them to officials immediately. These events highlight ongoing concerns about military ordnance washing ashore or being found in public areas, prompting coordinated responses from bomb squads, law enforcement, and emergency services.
