French wildfires uncover 400 WWII shells
Wildfires in southwestern France have led to the discovery of more than 400 World War II-era shells, as the intense heat caused some of the buried munitions to explode after decades. Bomb disposal teams found these shells in a field near a affected village, following the sound of explosions heard as the fires reached the area, prompting an expanded perimeter for safety and the removal of the ordnance. The current fire is part of a historic wave of wildfires in France, which has resulted in widespread evacuations and the destruction of large forested areas, amid warnings that rising temperatures could make it more difficult to control the flames.
