France fires uncover WWII explosive shells
Large wildfires near the city of Bordeaux in southwestern France revealed the presence of shells dating back to World War II. Approximately 400 pieces of ammunition were discovered in the area affected by the fire, which resulted in the destruction of more than 180 homes. The sound of explosions increased during the blaze, and it is believed that some were caused by the detonation of these shells, which include German and French ordnance such as mortar shells and anti-tank rounds. After the ammunition was removed, residents were allowed to return to their homes. This incident is part of a series of wildfires that have affected the region since the beginning of summer, causing widespread damage, although the large vineyards were not impacted by the flames.
