Explosive in Berlin-Mitte requires no disarmament
In a series of unexpected events, two World War II bombs have been discovered in the heart of Berlin, causing temporary evacuations but ultimately being classified as safe.
The first bomb, a 100-kilogram incendiary device, was found in Berlin-Mitte on March 8. A safety perimeter was immediately established around the bomb site on Fischerinsel, and several thousand residents were asked to vacate their homes. However, following an inspection, the bomb was deemed non-hazardous, and the all-clear was given by the Berlin Police.
Meanwhile, in Berlin-Spandau, another bomb was unearthed. The exact weight and type of this bomb are yet to be classified during the ongoing inspection. A safety perimeter has been set up around the bomb, and the residents in the vicinity have not been specified. The authorities have not yet revealed the removal and disposal procedures for this bomb, but it is scheduled to be removed from the Spree later today and disposed of properly after removal.
Contrary to initial reports, the bomb found in Berlin-Spandau will not need to be defused. It is set to be removed from the waterway later today. The police spokesperson who reported the discovery has not been named in the available sources, with reports only mentioning 'a spokesperson of the Berlin police' without naming the individual.
Despite the initial alarm, it appears that both bombs pose no immediate danger to the public. The authorities are taking the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and efficient removal and disposal process. As always, updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
