Accidental discovery of a WWII air bomb A passer-by discovered what looked like a piece of World War II unexploded ordnance, near the Świsłocz river, in the area of Krynki, East Poland, just 100 metres from the Polish-Belarusian border. Officers of the Polish Border Guard came to the place of the find and inspected the item. They notified the Police from Sokółka, who in turn called in a sapper patrol from Białystok. It turned out that the unexploded ordnance was an air bomb from World War II. The object was removed and transported to a secure location for controlled detonation.
