World War I grenade controlled explosion in the Carinthian Karawanks

A climber from Germany discovered a World War II artillery shell during his climb to the Lärchenturm in the Carpathian Mountains in Austria on Monday afternoon. Upon finding the rusty and highly explosive relic among the stones, he immediately alerted emergency services. The police confirmed that the shell was safely detonated on-site due to the danger of transporting it. A hundreds-meter exclusion zone was established around the site to protect climbers from shrapnel. This marks the second such discovery in a short period, as a mountaineer had previously found a similar shell in the same area earlier this month, which was de-armed on-site.
