100KG WW2 AERIAL BOMB FOUND IN DEBRECEN

 

A 100kg second world war Soviet-made aerial bomb has been found during construction work in central Debrecen, a communications officer of the Hungarian Armed Forces said on Wednesday. The bomb has a sharpened ignitor which must be disassembled at the scene to allow the device’s transfer to a safe depo, Milán Gajdos told MTI. An exclusion zone with a radius of 100 metres was set up around the junction of Tímár and Varga Streets, he said, adding that three residential homes had to be vacated.
