British authorities evacuated a neighborhood due to the risk of a bomb explosion
| British authorities evacuated thousands of residents of a neighborhood due to a bomb left over from World War II. |
According toMehr News Agency to Quoting from the British media, the British Ministry of Defense announced on Saturday that they detonated the bomb in the sea after discovering a bomb belonging to the World War II era, which is one of the largest peacetime disposals in the history of England.
This 500 kg bomb was discovered last Tuesday in the backyard of a house in the seaside town of Plymouth on the southwest coast of England.
More than 10,000 residents of the area evacuated their homes to ensure safety, and then a military convoy moved the unexploded bomb through a densely populated residential area to a sea corridor and then transported it to the sea. .
Plymouth Council leader Tudor Evans said: “I think it’s fair to say that the last few days will go down in Plymouth history. “
Plymouth, which was the location of the English naval bases for centuries, was one of the main targets of bombings during the Second World War.
