186 explosive remnants of World War II were found on the grassland border of Inner Mongolia.
CCTV News:Recently, during routine patrol, the horseback police of Xilin Gol Border Management Detachment in Inner Mongolia found a suspected shell exposed on the surface. After detailed investigation and excavation by the police, 186 pieces of various ammunition were dug up. After expert appraisal, this batch of ammunition was left over from World War II.


After professional equipment investigation, the shells of the shells excavated have been rusted and corroded, but some fuzes are well preserved, and the firing device has not been removed, so it is easy to be detonated. After the experts from the Inner Mongolia Public Security Department rushed to the scene, they carried out safety assessment and comprehensive judgment, and set up four working groups with the local public security bureau and the border management brigade: vigilance, exploration, excavation and destruction. After carpet exploration and unarmed excavation by the police, 186 pieces of 4 kinds of ammunition were seized.

According to expert analysis, the shells of these shells have rusted and corroded, but the outline is clearly visible, and the serial numbers on some shells can be clearly distinguished. The ammunition was identified as military ammunition made in the Soviet Union. On October 20th, 186 pieces of ammunition were safely destroyed by the police by detonation.
According to the police of the Border Management Brigade, 190 shells left over from World War II were found around the area in 2011. This time, 186 pieces of ammunition were successfully destroyed, which eliminated the hidden dangers of explosives in border areas and provided a good safety environment for people’s production and life. The police reminded the masses that if similar dangerous objects are found, please call the rescue number in time and never touch them without authorization to avoid danger.
