The BITOLA Special Operations Unit reported the discovery and safe removal of a substantial quantity of unexploded ordnance at the BITOLA hospital. The finds originated from the Directorate for Protection and Salvation (DPS) of BITOLA, revealing materials dating back to the First World War. Authorities successfully recovered over 1,400 pieces of explosive material.
According to police reports detailing the inventory, the collected ordnance included specific types of weaponry. The haul comprised 540 anti-aircraft grenades, 371 rocket bombs, and 532 cluster grenades, all confirmed to be relics from the First World War. The operation was a focused effort dedicated to the detection, removal, and eventual destruction of these dangerous, unexploded materials.
The Directorate for Protection and Salvation stated that the confiscated items are slated for transfer.
