A wildfire raging across the North York Moors National Park in North Yorkshire, England, has caused the explosion of undiscovered Second World War bombs and tank shells. The affected area includes a former tank training ground used during the 1940s. Firefighters and local farmers are actively working to contain the blaze, which has posed additional risks due to the presence of these unexploded ordnances. At least 18 WWII-era bombs and shells have detonated as the fire spreads, complicating mitigation efforts and raising safety concerns. The fire has been described as an "apocalyptic sight" by local sources, highlighting the challenges faced by emergency crews battling the wildfire in the Yorkshire countryside.
