An alarm was raised by the authorities on Friday afternoon in Orestiada, after the detection of an anti-tank missile in the basement of an apartment building in the settlement of Palinnostoun. The tenants evacuated the apartments while the Army, EL.AS. forces and firefighters rushed to the area for the safe transportation of the projectile.
According to evrosnews.gr, a special bomb disposal expert of the EOD team was called to undertake the transportation of the anti-tank projectile.
According to evrosnews.gr, a special bomb disposal expert of the EOD team was called to undertake the transportation of the specific anti-tank projectile. This is because no attempt can be made to deactivate it inside the house as it seems to be externally damaged. Another reason why it cannot be deactivated there is that there is a huge risk of it exploding and destroying everything in the area.
Men from other government agencies have also arrived at the site, since no one knows at the moment how this particular anti-tank missile was found in the basement of the house, who put it there or whether it may have been stolen from a military unit in the area.
