Soldiers from Bomb Disposal Patrol No. 23 of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec:
Our latest operation:
Together with the Mine Divers Group from Świnoujście and bomb-disposal patrols from Krosno Odrzańskie and Głogów, we managed to remove more than 1,650 rocket projectiles from the lake.
All the unexploded ordnance was detonated at a nearby training ground. Lieutenant Commander Grzegorz Lewandowski, spokesperson for the 8th Coastal Defence Flotilla:
There was so much of it that the bomb-disposal patrol from Krosno Odrzańskie, which collected it from our officers, asked for support from bomb-disposal patrols from Głogów and Bolesławiec. Several patrols were therefore operating at the site.

As a reminder, we reported on the matter last Thursday.
At the time, bomb-disposal specialists from Bomb Disposal Patrol No. 23 of the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec reported:
Several hundred rockets underwater.
We are supporting the operations of the Bomb Disposal Patrol from Krosno Odrzańskie and the Mine Divers Group from Świnoujście.
Polish Navy on the operation:
Mine Divers from the 12th Minesweeper Squadron in Świnoujście (8th Coastal Defence Flotilla), together with the 21st Bomb Disposal Patrol from Krosno Odrzańskie, are recovering a large ammunition arsenal from Lake Ciemne near the town of Torzym (Lubusz Voivodeship).
During just four hours of work, the divers recovered 600 German 80 mm rocket projectiles and two 130 mm Katyusha rockets from the lakebed. They also located another huge ammunition cache estimated at several hundred items. The operation is ongoing. Support from bomb-disposal patrols from Bolesławiec and Głogów will be necessary.
