According to information, on Tuesday (4/10), a Hellenic Army’s Land Mine Clearance Department (TENX) team unearthed more German World War II shells from the construction site. The total number of shells found was 69.
As sources with knowledge of the works at the construction site of Leontos Sofou report, the most likely scenario is that this area was an ammunition warehouse for the Germans during the Nazi occupation of the city.
However, the shells found are intact and active and have not been detonated, so the scenario is also supported by the fact that the shells were stacked and, therefore, in storage.
