A pyrotechnician intervened in the center of Brno. Archaeologists have found a 100-kilo air bomb
The survey in the center of Brno turned into a drama for a while on Thursday afternoon. Archaeologists have found a meter-long bomb in Nové sady Street. A police pyrotechnician intervened at the site around three o’clock in the afternoon. “Puma had an active detonator. The summoned pyrotechnician destroyed it on the spot. He then took the bomb for disposal. The intervention took place without evacuating the area around the site of the find, “policewoman Petra Ledabylová told Deník Rovnost.

In recent weeks, according to her, this was far from the only find of old war ammunition in southern Moravia. These are often related to spring work in gardens and fields. “Since the beginning of April, the police have been driving to forty-two suspects that the pyrotechnician had to dispose of,” Ledabylová said.

For example, in the Znojmo region, workers from a construction company recently found an anti-tank missile during road modification. He used the so-called armored fist of the world’s German army during World War II. Another similar finding was reported by a man from Blansko. In the garden of his house, he dug the foundations for the fence and found three rusted rollers in the ground. “The pyrotechnician identified them as an anti-tank community. An artillery mine was recently dug up again by a man in the garden of a family house in the Brno region. A man in the Břeclav region again announced the finding of a hand grenade while cleaning a well in the garden, “the police officer mentioned other finds of war ammunition.
In similar situations, police officers strongly warn the finders to be very helpful and to call the emergency number 158. Although most of these ammunition comes from the war and is decades old, it can still be deadly. “In the past, police officers have also encountered cases where people drove found ammunition by car or even by public transport. Or they brought her directly to the police station in such a situation, “the police spokeswoman added.
