The operation to remove the grenade found this morning in Kordelio, Thessaloniki, was completed by an Army unit.
The oxidized grenade was found during optical fiber installation works, on Iasonidou Street.
In the area of Kordelio and the junction of Iasonidou and Agiou Georgiou streets, the Army forces rushed earlier.
According to information, pyrotechnicians of the military corps received the grenade in order to liberate the point.
They even led the find to a safe place, in order to carry out a controlled explosion.
The grenade, as reported by eyewitnesses to GRTimes.gr, was buried at a depth of only 20 cm and came to the surface from the special digging machine used to lay fiber optic cables.
The workers, seeing the object, judged that it was a grenade and for this reason they left the spot and notified the police, which within a few minutes had blocked the area.
The item is expected to be picked up by army pyrotechnicians who have been notified and are expected to arrive at the scene.
