The city of Cologne in Germany is witnessing a large-scale evacuation operation for the disposal of three unexploded bombs from World War II.
Due to the continued danger posed by the unexploded bombs, it was decided to initiate "the largest operation since the end of World War II" in an area of 1 kilometer. The evacuation process affects approximately 20,000 people, including the city center. The evacuated area includes Cologne's city center and historical regions.
58 HOTELS AND PUBLIC BUILDINGS CLOSED
Authorities announced that 58 hotels, numerous museums, schools, kindergartens, and public buildings have been temporarily closed to prevent any potential danger. According to German broadcaster WDR, one of the bombs found weighs 10 tons, while the other two weigh 20 tons each.
THE BOMBS HAVE IMPACT FUSES
It has been reported that all the bombs have impact fuses. These types of fuses carry the risk of detonating when the bombs hit the ground, making the intervention even more dangerous.
EXTENSIVE SECURITY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN THE AREA
Expert teams will use special techniques for the safe disposal of the bombs. Intensive security measures have been implemented in the area, both from the air and on the ground. The disposal process will begin after the evacuation operations are completed.
