On Monday, September 28, 2026, two shells were discovered in the central part of the village of Trélévern, located in the Côtes-d'Armor region of France. The shells were found inside a small box, raising immediate concerns about their potential danger. The area where the shells were found is a residential zone, which added urgency to the situation. The discovery prompted the swift intervention of a demining team from Brest, in the Finistère department, who arrived on Tuesday, September 29. The team is trained to handle explosive devices and was called in to safely remove the shells. These devices were determined to still be functional, meaning they could have exploded if exposed to heat or physical impact. Unexploded ordnance, such as these shells, is a common concern in areas with a history of military activity or conflict. In France, remnants from both World Wars can sometimes be discovered decades later, necessitating careful handling by trained professionals. The demining team worked quickly and efficiently to ensure the safety of the local community. The incident highlights the ongoing need for vigilance in regions where historical military activity may have left behind hazardous materials. The demining team successfully removed the shells without incident, and the area was declared safe afterward. Local authorities reminded residents to report any suspicious objects to the appropriate authorities to prevent potential dangers.
