法国南部勒波日村近期发生的森林大火揭露了埋藏地下的约400枚二战历史性弹药[1]。这些弹药包括德国和法国的迫击炮弹及反坦克炮弹[1]。大火产生的高温引发了100多次爆炸[1],导致超过180座房屋被毁[1]。吉伦特地区的这场野火燃烧约10天后被控制[1],烧毁面积达42,000公顷,成为法国二战以来最大野火之一[1]。
勒波日村市长Martial Zaninetti表示,"我们市镇内埋藏有弹药库,但我们并不知情,它们爆炸了"[1]。法国总理Sebastien Le Cornu则感谢消防员的努力,表示法国"在面对前所未有的危机时坚定不移"[1]。经处理后,大多数居民已返回家园,但某些区域仍被禁入[1]。
A major forest fire in southwestern France has uncovered approximately 400 buried World War II ammunition rounds and shells in the village of Le Porge in the Gironde region.[1] The intense heat from the blaze ignited the munitions, triggering over 100 explosions during the second night of the incident.[1] The ordnance included German and French mortar rounds as well as anti-tank shells.[1]
The wildfire destroyed more than 180 houses across the area before being brought under control after approximately ten days.[1] The Gironde region fire burned roughly 42,000 hectares, making it one of the largest wildfires in southwestern France since World War II.[1] Le Porge's mayor, Martial Zaninetti, stated: "There were ammunition depots buried in land within our municipality, but we didn't know it, and they exploded."[1] Following decontamination efforts, most residents have returned to their homes, though certain areas remain off-limits.[1] Prime Minister Sebastien Le Cornu praised firefighters for their response, saying France "has stood firm in the face of an unprecedented crisis."[1]
