Two construction workers were critically injured Friday when suspected World War II-era ordnance exploded at a site near Slovenia’s capital, Ljubljana, police said.
The blast occurred in the morning hours in the Rožna Dolina area during ongoing construction work, according to a police statement.
Both workers suffered serious injuries and were transported to the University Medical Centre Ljubljana for emergency treatment.
Authorities said the exact cause of the explosion remains under investigation, but initial findings suggest that a small, unexploded device dating back to World War II detonated during the activity.
Police have sealed off the area and launched a full investigation into the incident.
Unexploded wartime munitions are occasionally found across parts of Europe, particularly in areas that witnessed heavy fighting during World War II.
