The Hill: Air Force offers $5,000 for leads on missing box of explosive grenades

The Air Force has offered $5,000 for leads on the whereabouts of a box of explosive grenade rounds after the cache accidentally fell from a vehicle while airmen drove on a road in North Dakota, The Washington Post reports.

Airmen from the 91st Missile Wing Security Forces team were traveling on gravel roads between two intercontinental ballistic missile sites on May 1 when their vehicle’s hatch opened and the ammunition fell out, Minot Air Force Base said in a statement obtained by the Post.

Last Friday, the Air Force sent more than 100 airmen to search the entire six-mile route where the high-caliber explosive rounds were thought to have fallen, the Post reported, citing a statement from the local sheriff's office.
