A World War II-era white phosphorus grenade was safely neutralised in Luxembourg last week after civilians discovered it and followed safety protocols, which prompted a specialised response from the Luxembourg Army. Authorities stress that under no circumstances should anyone attempt to touch or move such munitions if discovered. The area should be evacuated immediately, ideally maintaining a minimum distance of 100 metres. The police or army should then be contacted. The army’s contact details:
