The Special Group for the Deactivation of Explosives (Gedex) of the Civil Guard of León have destroyed an aviation bomb that an individual had found when he was hiking through a place in the town of Villadangos del Páramo. The specialists went to the place and, once the artifact was located, they were able to verify its poor state of conservation due to the passage of time, so they proceeded to destroy it in an area close to the place of discovery, the Civil Guard has reported.
The artifact was identified as a ‘Hispania A-5’ aviation bomb, a model used during the Civil War.
