Forest fires reveal WWII shells in French village
The massive wildfires near the city of Bordeaux in southwestern France revealed World War II-era shells in the village of Le Bourg, where approximately 400 rounds of ammunition were found, including German and French shells—mostly mortar shells and anti-tank rounds. EOD operations were carried out after the fire destroyed more than 180 homes, accompanied by explosions believed to have resulted from the detonation of these shells. The reasons for the presence of such ammunition in the area remain unclear. France has experienced multiple wildfires since the start of summer, the most significant of which burned over 40,000 hectares of land in the Bordeaux region, without affecting the major vineyards.
