A foreign national in Sochi stumbled upon a grenade.

A foreign citizen discovered a non-explosive hand grenade from World War I in the river Soči near the regional road between Bovec and Trenta. The individual reported the find to the police, who identified it as an Italian-made S.I.P.E. type grenade from the First World War. The grenade was partially buried in water and therefore difficult to spot. Police secured the area and informed the appropriate authorities. A pyrotechnician from the State Unit for Protection Against Unexploded Ordnance (DENUS) safely removed and disposed of the device. The police emphasized that even century-old unexploded ordnance remains extremely dangerous and urged citizens not to touch, move, or attempt to remove such items themselves but to immediately report them to emergency services.

Bias read (Center): The article reports on a safety incident involving unexploded ordnance, focusing on public safety measures and procedures. It does not take a stance on any political issue, nor does it favor any side in a debate. The content is informational and neutral in tone.
