Greek authorities said schoolchildren playing on a road construction site stumbled on hundreds of hand grenades stashed away during the civil war, which was fought between 1946-49.
Army officials in the northern town of Serres said explosives disposal experts have removed and safely defused more than 400 Russian-made grenades so far. It is unclear how many more were in the cache. The weapons were found over the weekend by children after heavy rains eroded the road, which is being resurfaced.
