In the Polish town of Przedbórz, sappers discovered ten unexploded shells from World War II.
As reported by Polish broadcasters, on Tuesday, December 10, the sappers found another ten unexploded bombs in the town of Przedbórz, located in the Łódź Voivodeship.
Journalists highlighted that just last week, sappers had already neutralized four aerial bombs in the same area. This brings the total number of unexploded munitions found in Przedbórz to 14. On Wednesday, December 11, the sappers removed the remaining bombs.
The first four bombs were discovered a week ago while excavating swamps in Przedbórz. The ongoing work is part of a project to restore an old reservoir.
Lukasz Fron, a representative of the private company handling the bomb disposal, explained to reporters that the bombs were SC50 models, produced by Germany during World War II. Each bomb is approximately 110 cm in length and contains 22 kg of explosives.
“It’s possible that there was a field airstrip at this location in the past, and the bombs were stored there,” Fron said. He also noted that the shells could have been placed there due to the construction of an anti-tank ditch along the Pilica River in the summer of 1944.
