Building repairs on the the Rimsky-Korsakov Consevratoire in St Petersburg were interrupted by the discovery of a mortat mine in the basement, a legacy of German bombardments in the siege of Leningrad.

The site was evacuated while the object was removed. The bomb was then taken to a landfill site and safely exploded.
