Muscat: The Royal Oman Police clarified that a video circulating about the discovery of a foreign object suspected of being an explosive material is nothing but a lighting device for ships.
The Royal Oman Police said: “The Royal Oman Police followed the footage circulating about the presence of a suspicious device on a beach in the wilayat of Jaalan Bani Bu Ali. Specialised teams examined it, and it turned out to be a night lighting device used on ships. It may have floated or fallen from one of the sunken or passing ships at sea.”
