In the village of Auneu in Znaur district of South Ossetia, dugouts were found in which there was an 82 mm mortar shell, the press service of the Republic's rescue department reported.
According to the Ministry, the eyewitnesses reported the discovery to the emergency department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and sappers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and officers of the KGB and Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Znaur district promptly left for the scene.
“The projectile turned out to be explosive, but was not in a combat position. Presumably, it remained from the August 2008 war, and is already rusty,” the press service noted.
The shell was removed and neutralized.
