Last year unsafe Dutch ammunition led to the death of two
soldiers during an exercise in Mali, where the Netherlands has soldiers on a UN
peace mission. In the meantime additional ammunition has been declared unsafe. This
concerns anti-tank ammunition and smoke grenades which possibly have deteriorated
due to the high temperatures in the African country. Furthermore it has been decided
that the 81 mm mortars of the Dutch soldiers in Mali and Lithuania present a
safety risk and should not be used.
