Panel grenade discovered in Magdeburg: temporarily closed
On Monday morning, a tank grenade was found in the new Neustadt in Magdeburg, which led to the examination of the situation by the police. According to reports from the Magdeburg police inspection, the ordnance disposal service is already informed and is ready to remove the dangerous ammunition.
The find came to light during construction work, but the exact origin and the production date of the grenade remains unclear. The residents can breathe a sigh of relief, because no evacuations are necessary, and the police only cordoned off the immediate danger area in Zielitzer Strasse.
Secure measures
The police have already signaled that no further closures are necessary and the situation is largely under control. Only in the immediate vicinity of the site do the residents have to adjust to restrictions. A police spokesman emphasized that the security of the population has top priority.
The discovery of the armored grenade is part of a phenomenon that is not unusual; Old ammunition is regularly discovered during construction work. The city of Magdeburg is aware of the possible dangers and works closely with the ordnance disposal service to cope with such incidents.
For the residents, it remains important to follow the instructions of the security forces and avoid the locked area. With a timely and proper removal of the grenade by trained staff, the situation should soon be normalized again.
