At least two North-South passenger trains and many freight ones have had to temporarily stop running through Quang Binh rail section.

In the early hours of June 04 afternoon, while constructing a railway project, a construction unit found a deeply buried bomb. Its location was just about one meter from the rail line.

Construction activities were immediately halted afterward. The construction unit sent an emergency notice to the railway authorities for suspending coming trains. They also reported their discovery to local responsible agencies for dealing with the bomb so that the railway could be reopened.
