Anti-aircraft grenade in the Saale district: Planned explosion causes excitement!
A potentially dangerous incident occurred in the Saale district today. During construction work on a hydrogen pipeline, an anti-aircraft grenade was found, which is now to be exploded in a controlled manner. This blast is planned for today between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., as the Saalekreis rescue control center has confirmed. The grenade has a diameter of 8.8 centimeters and was discovered in a location on the border with Burgenlandkreis. The discovery poses a danger, which is why a security area with a radius of 250 meters has already been set up.
Parts of a nearby allotment garden are also involved in the affected area. To ensure that the demolition can proceed smoothly, the street “Zur Linde” will be temporarily closed. The decision to carry out a controlled demolition was made after an assessment by the explosive ordnance disposal service, which is specially trained to deal with such risks.
Background on explosive ordnance disposal
Ordnance like the grenade now found are often leftovers from military conflicts and can pose a serious threat to public safety. The general steps for explosive ordnance disposal include careful exploration, identification and finally safe defusing. Experts are used who are well trained in dealing with such found ammunition.
Explosive ordnance is handled according to strict guidelines set out in general explosive ordnance disposal practice and the relevant explosive ordnance law. According to the BFR-KMR, all steps, from risk assessment to detonation, must be carried out conscientiously to ensure safety for the population.
This type of incident clearly shows how important careful planning and professional execution is in the area of explosive ordnance disposal. It is therefore crucial that the population is well informed and safety precautions are taken seriously, especially in areas where explosive material may be hidden in the ground.
