Reassessment of former ammunition depot at Mitholz: Federal Council appoints working group
Bern, 28.6.2018 - The interim report of an expert group has concluded that the risk of another explosion of remnant munitions at the former ammunition depot at Mitholz is higher than previously thought. At its meeting on 27 June 2018, the Federal Council tasked the DDPS with appointing a working group to further assess the risk and propose risk-reducing measures. The interim report concludes that taking immediate measures for the local people is not necessary. Nevertheless, the Federal Council today met with local residents and the authorities concerned to provide them with information.
