Explosive device in Berlin-Mitte requires no disarmament
In an unexpected turn of events, a 100-kilogram World War II incendiary bomb was discovered in Berlin's Spree River on Thursday. The bomb, most likely dropped by Allied air forces during the bombing raids on Berlin, was found in Berlin-Mitte's Spree River.
The discovery led to a series of precautionary measures. A safety perimeter has been established in Berlin-Spandau, and the area around the discovery site on Fischerinsel was cordoned off. As a result, several thousand residents were evacuated from their homes.
Despite initial concerns, the bomb has been deemed safe during inspection. Berlin Police have declared that there is no longer any danger from the bomb, and it has been classified as harmless.
The bomb will be retrieved from the Spree River and will be defused later today. The defusing process will take place in Berlin-Spandau, and once the process is complete, the bomb will be disposed of properly.
Divers inspected the bomb early in the morning, and the bomb will be defused by a team of experts. The evacuated residents are expected to be allowed to return to their homes once the defusing process is complete and the area is declared safe.
The defusing of the bomb is related to the safety perimeter in Berlin-Spandau, and it is important to ensure the safety of the public and the experts involved in the defusing process. The exact unit or owner of this particular bomb is not detailed in available sources, but it is believed to have been dropped by units of the British Royal Air Force (RAF) or the United States Army Air Forces (USAAF).
The bomb discovery serves as a reminder of the ongoing efforts to clear World War II remnants from cities around the world. Berlin has been no stranger to such discoveries, and the city continues to work towards ensuring the safety of its residents and visitors.
