Popular Hungarian beach evacuated due to bomb
A Hungarian beach was evacuated because of a bomb threat near Lake Velence yesterday.
A WWII Soviet bomb was carried away from a Gárdony campsite near Lake Velence. Gárdony is one of the most popular beach villages around Hungary’s third biggest natural lake. Special units of the Hungarian military took the bomb away on Saturday.
First Lieutenant Milán Gajdos said the military evacuated the campsite at Üdülő Street in Gárdony due to the risks posed by the Soviet bomb. Interestingly, the explosive was found by a bather. He took it out from the lake and took it to the campsite, origo.hu wrote. Finally, pyrotechnists determined the device was a 15 kg WWII Soviet fragmentation bomb. Since it was in a transportable state, the military took it to their central collection point, where they would detonate it.
