Germany: More than 170 unexploded World War II bombs have been found recently in the German city of Augsburg, which has created panic in the local administration. These bombs are from the time when a large number of bombs were dropped during the bombing of Germany. Now after so many years these bombs have been found, and they have emerged as a serious security threat.
According to local officials, identification of these bombs and their safe defusal is very important. The bombs were discovered during construction work in that area, when these bombs came to light during excavation. The authorities immediately cordoned off the area and advised the local residents to move to safer places. The area was temporarily evacuated and bomb disposal teams were called to the spot.
This incident points to the survival of war material from the time of World War II in Germany. Often such bombs and explosives have been found in the decades following the wars of that time, when they were not properly deactivated. Such bombs are still found from time to time in Germany, whose defusing is a very challenging task.
According to Augsburg local officials, this issue is both frightening and severe because failing to defuse these devices might seriously endanger the public. The effects and legacy of the Second World War in Germany, which are still felt there decades later, have been brought to a light by this tragedy once more.
According to the security experts, it is necessary to call a team of experts to defuse such a bombs, so that any kind of accident can be avoided. At present, the officials are keeping an eye on matter and are engaged in the process of defusing the explosives.
