The Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) Explosive Ordnance Disposal Department (EODD) will conduct a live demolition of bombs at Hells Point, in the Alligator Creek area east of Honiara, on 11 June 2025.
Acting Director of EODD, Senior Sergeant (SSgt) Peter Ririvere, says, “The Hells Point Demolition Range in Central Guadalcanal will be active from 8am to 2pm (11 June 2025).
SSgt Ririvere says, “Farmers, fishermen, hunters, and the general public in and around the Henderson area, Alligator Creek, and Tenaru School are kindly warned to keep out of Hells Point while the operation is in progress.”
“Safe evacuations of people and roadblocks will be enforced within these areas from East Henderson to the Tenaru school bus stop. This is our normal weekly EOD task aimed to reduce the number of unexploded ordnances stored at the site to a minimum level,” says Mr. Ririvere.
He says, “The Air Traffic Control Tower at the Honiara International Airport will coordinate the firing of each serial. EOD operators will be posted at the control tower during this operation from the actual times of the demolition.”
