Bomb find - 250-Kilogram-World War II bomb discovered on construction site in Cottbus
At the construction site of the new Cottbus Railway Workshop, a World War II bomb has been found. The 250 kilogram German-made explosive charge with a Russian fuse is scheduled to be disarmed on Sunday on site, as the city Cottbus announced. The bomb is reportedly located in approximately four meters depth.
According to the city's statements, only a few people will be affected by restrictions for the disarming process. The railway traffic will not be affected according to current knowledge. The railway station or other surrounding public buildings are also not affected.
The discovery of the World War II bomb at the construction site has triggered an emergency response. The consequences of war continue to surface even after decades. The bomb find in Brandenburg near Cottbus is a stark reminder of the past conflicts. The disarming of the bomb on Sunday at the construction site could potentially delay the ongoing construction work.
