Discovered Fire Bomb in Berlin: Specialists Voice Concerns
In Berlin, a 100-kilogram World War II bomb has been discovered during construction work on Wednesday morning, prompting a significant evacuation of around 12,400 residents. This evacuation is one of the largest in the capital due to a bomb defusal. The unexploded ordnance was found at the Mühlendamm lock on the Fischerinsel, an area that was once part of the oldest part of the medieval town of Cölln on the present-day territory of Berlin. The bomb has been removed from the Spree and will be disposed of properly. Early in the morning, divers inspected the bomb in Berlin-Mitte, and it was classified as harmless during inspection. However, the safety measures in Berlin-Spandau are still necessary, as a similar incident occurred in December 2021 in Gesundbrunnen, where an equally large number of people were affected by safety measures due to a 250-kilogram flying bomb. The security perimeter for the defusal in Berlin-Spandau has been established, and among the buildings within this perimeter are a hospital, a care facility, a primary school, and two kindergartens. The hospital in Berlin-Spandau will not be evacuated, but the emergency room cannot be reached during the defusal, and patients cannot receive visitors. In the affected care facility in Berlin-Spandau, operations are not restricted, but entry and exit are not possible. A temporary shelter has been set up in a gym for people in Berlin-Spandau who cannot stay with relatives or acquaintances. The World War II bomb discovered in Berlin-Mitte has been deemed non-hazardous, and people can return to their homes. However, there may still be traffic disruptions in the area. In July 2023, around 15,000 people in Marzahn had to leave their homes due to the defusal of a 500-kilogram World War II bomb. As the bomb defusal in Berlin-Spandau progresses, residents are advised to follow the instructions of the authorities and stay safe. Part of the Havel will be closed in Berlin-Spandau for the defusal, and it is essential to avoid the area to ensure everyone's safety. The information about who will conduct the explosive ordnance disposal in Berlin-Spandau is not explicitly provided in the available search results. Nonetheless, the authorities are working diligently to ensure the safe removal of the bomb and the return of normalcy to the affected areas.
