Cannonballs dating from the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865 were unearthed due to powerful currents generated by Hurricane Matthew on a beach in the US state of South Carolina. A bomb squad has been put in place to clear the cannonballs, according to officials. Notably, the death toll from Hurricane Matthew has crossed 1,000.
