According to Vice World News, unexploded World War 1 bombs are being set off in Europe due to the hot weather.
More than 8,000 acres of farmland have been destroyed by a fire in the southwest Kras region of the country.
According to reports, it's led to the explosion of countless WWI-era bombs, which hadn't been used in a century.
Darko Zonji, the commander of the bomb disposal unit, told the media that they have stopped counting the number of detonations because there have been so many. Zonji said that officials are only taking note of the explosions.
According to local media, there had been more than 500 detonations.
Due to the fires, the unexploded ordnances explode when they get too hot.
An incident on July 22 saw the heat from the raging fire set off an unexploded WWI-era bomb. No one was hurt.
Six members of the team were present at the scene of the fire. He said that they were instructing firefighters on how to avoid accidents.
There were no injuries or casualties among the firefighters.
The unit has so far removed over 5,000 lbs of bomb remnants.
According to local media, the defense minister Marjan arec said that people should not walk on the land near the fire.
The site of the fire was where the Battles of the Isonzo took place. There were more than 200,000 deaths there between 1915 and1917.
Leftover unexploded ordnances are a problem for countries for a long time after the wars are over.
According to Guy Momper, a bomb clearance specialist, it could take more than 100 years to clear all the World War I-era bombs from Europe.
