An unexploded shell head sits in the front yard of a home in Bucha. Bucha was devastated during intense fighting between Ukrainian and Russian troops. Russian forces killed hundreds of civilians in the town and left many inhabitants homeless. The Ukrainian government has accused Russian forces of committing a "deliberate massacre" as they occupied and eventually retreated from Bucha, 25km northwest of Kyiv. Hundreds of bodies have been found in the days since Ukrainian forces regained control of the town. Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022, triggering the largest military attack in Europe since World War II.

Soldiers prepare the unexploded air drop World War Two 250 kg for carriage
Bomb Disposal Experts Destroy WW2 Bomb Found in Bermondsey, London - 24 Mar 2015
Army Bomb disposal experts have defused an unexploded air drop World War Two 250 kg German Bomb near the Shard in Bermondsey this evening. The device was then taken by road to an undisclosed location to be destroyed.
The bomb would have been dropped over London by the Luftwaffe in the 1940s but unusually did not detonate. It had lain undisturbed deep in the ground for 70 years but was uncovered yesterday during construction works.
Bomb disposal teams from Shorncliffe Troop 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Royal Logistic Corps and Sappers from 36 Engineer Regiment Explosive Ordnance Disposal were involved in excavating the device so that it can be safely defused. The operation to excavate the device took all night as it was in an awkward position. The fuse, situated underneath the bomb had to be accessed by trenches which were dug carefully beneath the bomb.

Gaza Strip Palestinian Israel crisis 01082014
Palestinians look at an unexploded Israeli missile, which witnesses said was fired by an Israeli aircraft on a street in Deir El-Balah in the central Gaza Strip August 1, 2014. A Gaza ceasefire crumbled only hours after it began on Friday, with at least 40 Palestinians killed by Israeli shelling and Israel accusing militants of violating the U.S.- and U.N.-brokered truce by firing rockets and mortars. The 72-hour break announced by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was the most ambitious attempt so far to end more than three weeks of fighting, and followed mounting international alarm over a rising Palestinian civilian death toll.

The battlefield sites of WW1 in Flanders, the Somme, Verdun and the Argonne where thousands of men paid the ultimate price. Many were never found and still lie beneath the earth. 2014 is the centenary of the start of World War One, the Great War, the War
Vimy Ridge WW1 Canadian National Memorial and Battlefield, Vimy, France. February 2014. The shell craters have survived nearly 100 years and much of the protected surrounding landscape still contains unexploded WW1 shells and ammunition. Walkers are warned not to stray from the prescribed pathways.The Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War 1914-1918 was a military engagement fought primarily as part of the Battle of Arras, in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region of France, during the First World War. The main combatants were the Canadian Corps, of four divisions, against three divisions of the German Sixth Army. The battle, which took place from 9 to 12 April 1917, was part of the opening phase of the British-led Battle of Arras, a diversionary attack for the French Nivelle Offensive.The objective of the Canadian Corps was to take control of the German-held high ground along an escarpment at the northernmost end of the Arras Offensive. This would ensure that the southern flank could advance without suffering German enfilade fire. Supported by a creeping barrage, the Canadian Corps captured most of the ridge during the first day of the attack. The town of Thélus fell during the second day of the attack, as did the crest of the ridge once the Canadian Corps overcame a salient of considerable German resistance. The final objective, a fortified knoll located outside the town of Givenchy-en-Gohelle, fell to the Canadian Corps on 12 April. The German forces then retreated to the Oppy¿Méricourt line. Historians attribute the success of the Canadian Corps in capturing the ridge to a mixture of technical and tactical innovation, meticulous planning, powerful artillery support and extensive training, as well as the failure of the German Sixth Army to properly apply the new German defensive doctrine. The battle was the first occasion when all four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force participated in a battle together and thus became a Canadian nationalistic symbol.

Ypres-Ieper WW1 Battlefield, 1914-1918, Belgium. Unexploded WW1 Shells at Two Mine Craters, Kruisstraat, Flanders, Belgium. February 2014. The Iron Harvest. Unexploded WW1 ordnance waiting to be collected by Belgian Bomb disposal team from Belgian Army in Mine Crater country to the south of Ypres. Hundreds of shells are unearthed each year on the battlefields of Flanders and across northern France.
The iron harvest is the annual "harvest" of unexploded ordnance, barbed wire, shrapnel, bullets and congruent trench supports collected by Belgian and French farmers after ploughing their fields. The harvest generally applies to the material from World War I, which is still found in large quantities across the former Western Front.During World War I an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate.In the Ypres Salient, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the Germans forces fired at each other during World War I were duds, and most of them have not been recovered] In 2013, 160 tonnes of munitions, from bullets to 15 inch naval gun shells, were unearthed from the areas around Ypres.[4].Unexploded weapons - in the form of shells, bullets and grenades - buried themselves on impact or were otherwise quickly swallowed in the mud. As time passes, construction work, field ploughing and natural processes bring the rusting shells to the surface. Most of the iron harvest is found during the spring planting and autumn ploughing as the region of northern France and Flanders are rich agricultural areas.Farmers will collect the munitions and place them along the boundaries of fields or other collection points for authorities.Despite the condition of the shells, they remain very dangerous. The French Département du Déminage (Department of Mine Clearance) recovers about 900 tons of unexploded munitions every year.

SATAN ' S LITTLE BROTHER REVEALED AFTER NINE MONTHS DIGGING THAMES IS BOMBS ALLY
Bomb disposal men of the Royal Engineers digging for Satan ' s little brother, unexploded 500 pound German bomb at Silvertown, London, now have exposed the bomb to view after nine months digging. the bomb is stuck head first in sticky tar impregnated shingle in a tar distillers yard. It is expected to be ready for removal in about a fortnight. Work is possible only at low tide and for about four hours on either side of it, because at high tide water pours into the 30 feet deep shaft. As low tide gets later each day, the men now work until the small hours of the morning.

AFTER 192 DAYS WORK CROYDONS UNEXPLODED 4,000 POUND BOMB COMES TO LIGHT.
After working for 192 days, men of a bomb disposal squad of the Royal Engineers have brought to light the 4,000 pound bomb, fondly nicknamed "Hermann", which was dropped by the Germans at Croydon in January 1941. The bomb is embedded in the chalk at the bottom of the 40ft shaft sunk by the Sappers, and its tail can be seen projecting above the waters of Croydon Bourne, which have caused the excavators much trouble and alarm by logging the bottom of the shaft. The bomb, a 4000 pound "Satan" is about 8 feet 6 inches long and 2 feet in diameter. The Sappers hope to have it raised and rendered harmless within the next few days.
