Explosive device in Berlin-Mitte requires no disarmament
In an unexpected turn of events, a 100-kilogram World War II bomb was discovered in Berlin-Mitte on Thursday. The bomb was found in the Spree river, prompting the immediate evacuation of several thousand people from the surrounding area.
Authorities quickly moved to secure the scene, establishing a safety perimeter around the discovery site in Berlin-Mitte and cordoning off the area on Fischerinsel. Divers inspected the bomb early in the morning to assess the situation.
However, the good news came later in the day. The bomb, which was initially a cause for concern, was deemed harmless during an inspection. The Berlin Police announced that there is no longer any danger, and the bomb will be removed from the Spree.
In a separate incident, another 100-kilogram bomb was discovered in Berlin-Spandau. The identity of the person or institution defusing the explosive device late at night has not been publicly disclosed. The bomb is expected to be defused later today, and after removal, it will be disposed of properly.
Despite the initial alarm, the authorities have assured the public that the situation is under control. The announcement was made to the German Press Agency, and the Berlin Police spokesperson confirmed that there is no immediate threat to the public.
This incident serves as a reminder of the historical legacy that Berlin carries, with remnants of World War II still occasionally surfacing. The city has a long history of safely removing such bombs, ensuring the safety of its residents and visitors.
