Sappers demining village Qezelabad in Afghanistan, which is actually built from unexploded missiles. Reported by the BBC.
After the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, villagers remained in the ruins. To rebuild their homes, they used everything they could find. Including numerous missiles left after the military.
Ammunition had strengthened the ceilings and walls. They propped the doors and trees and even used in the construction of bridges.

Team mine says that if you detonate at least one rocket will be destroyed the whole village. Just until they numbered 400.
Only one of the house engineers have learned 26 missiles. About what was used for the construction of houses, many residents didn’t even know.
All excavated munitions are taken away to a safe distance and blow up there.
