Two WW2 mines found in garbage container in Kaliningrad
Two 82-mm mortar mines of the Second World War times were found in a garbage container in the yard of a house in Zakharov Street in Kaliningrad on Sunday.
The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry’s main department for the Kaliningrad region told Itar-Tass that the neighbourhood residents spotted the dangerous high-yield explosives. Specialists sappers of the Baltic Forpost Plus firm urgently arrived at the scene. They took away the mines that are over 60 years old but that retained their explosive capacity to a military range for destruction. It was not immediately known how the shells got into the garbage container.
