They've recovered over ten tons of unexploded ordnance this year.

In Slovenia, over ten tons of unexploded ordnance have been discovered this year alone, according to the State Administration for Protection and Rescue (URSZR). As of the end of August 2026, there have been 2,584 discoveries totaling 10,364 kilograms. One notable find was an American air bomb, AN-M64, successfully deactivated by pyrotechnicians in the area of Globoko in the municipality of Radovljica. The largest discovery this year occurred in Robič, Kobarid, where 552 pieces weighing 922.7 kilograms were found. These remnants of World War I and II are often found in areas historically associated with battles, such as northern Primorska, Kras, and Posočje, but they also appear elsewhere due to construction, farming, and natural phenomena like floods and erosion. The State Unit for Protection against Unexploded Ordnance, part of URSZR, handles these removals, employing 32 contract members of the Civil Protection Service who undergo extensive training.
