- A second World War II explosive fund unearthed in the chemical hub of Zeitz
At the Zeitz Industrial Complex, a WWII bomb was stumbled upon during some building tasks. The Burgenlandkreis authorities reported that the nearly 250 kg explosive device will be safely dismantled on Thursday afternoon. Companies within a 500-meter vicinity that could be impacted have been instructed to vacate the premises. Residential areas are exempt from the evacuation orders. Approximately three weeks ago, another English bomber's explosion-laden device was uncovered on the site and was subsequently detonated.
Due to the discovery of the WWII bomb, the nearby companies have been advised to prepare for an evacuation on Thursday, as this is considered an emergency situation. Residents, however, have been assured that they do not need to evacuate, as their safety is not at risk in this emergency.
