Sappers of the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry removed about 1,000 of unexploded artillery shells from the WWII that were discovered by maintenance workers in the north-west of Moscow. As soon as the removal operation was completed, all people who had been evacuated from the nearby blocks of flats, returned to their homes. The shells were loaded into special trucks and now will be destroyed at one of the testing sites outside Moscow.
