China Denies Artillery Shell in PNG: 'It's a Wine Bottle'
China has disputed reports that a 32kg object found in Papua New Guinea is an artillery shell, suggesting it may be a wine bottle. The dispute follows earlier dismissal by PNG police of speculation that the object was a dummy. The incident has raised questions about the nature of the object and the involvement of Chinese entities.
China has disputed reports that a 32kg object discovered in Papua New Guinea is an artillery shell, instead suggesting it could be a wine bottle. The denial comes after Papua New Guinea police had earlier dismissed speculation that the object was 'merely a dummy.' The incident, reported by BBC News, has sparked a diplomatic row over the true nature of the object.
According to the BBC, the object was found in Papua New Guinea, though specific details about the location and date were not provided. Papua New Guinea police initially dismissed the idea that the object was a dummy, but China's latest statement contradicts that assessment. The 32kg weight of the object has fueled speculation about its potential military use, but China's claim that it is a wine bottle has raised eyebrows.
The dispute has implications for China-PNG relations and could heighten security concerns in the region. Global reactions are pending as both sides maintain their positions. Next steps may involve further investigation or diplomatic discussions to clarify the object's origin and purpose.
