Chinese Embassy denies artillery claim
A Chinese embassy in Papua New Guinea dismissed reports of a military-grade explosive, stating the object is actually a wine bottle, per SCMP.
PNG police initially identified the item in a container as an unexploded shell, ABC News Australia reported earlier today.
The incident has sparked diplomatic tensions, with China rejecting the artillery claim and emphasizing the object's benign nature.
No further details were provided on potential consequences or follow-up actions from Papua New Guinea authorities.
