In Pskov, a World War II aerial bomb was unearthed at a construction site. The local publication infopskov.ru reported the discovery of the artifact.
On February 14, workers at a site on General Margelov Street confirmed that the object was an SD-250 aerial bomb. The device had remained on the ground since the era of the Great Patriotic War, echoing the long tail of wartime hazards that still surface in modern development zones.
That same evening, a pyrotechnic team from the FGKU Nevsky Red Banner Rescue Center named after Lensoviet of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia conducted controlled explosive work to neutralize the bomb. The operation proceeded without incident, and residents faced no danger as the site was secured and monitored by specialists throughout the process.
Earlier reports from socialbites.ca described a WWII-era bomb found near Myskhako village in the Krasnodar region and later planned detonation at sea. During the event, stones from the blast affected several structures along the coastline, including the walls, windows, and air conditioning units of five private homes and a local hotel, underscoring the unpredictable impact that explosive devices can have on nearby property even when the blast is offshore.
