Preliminary identification shows that this is a mortar shell. The shell body is complete, partially corroded, and relatively intact. The tail and fuze are all in place. A little carelessness may cause an explosion hazard.
The police speculated that the shell may have been discarded on the riverside and covered with snow in winter, and as the ice and snow melted, the border guards found it and called the police.
At present, the shells have been transferred to a safe area for destruction, and the danger has been ruled out.
