Overview
- Authorities set a 600-meter safety zone around a field near the K7235 between Blösa and Soritz after a World War II bomb was found.
- Police ordered residents within the zone to leave, and roughly 170 people temporarily left their homes.
- Bomb-disposal specialists neutralized the device, which police described as Russian-made and fitted with two fuzes, and the area was declared secure.
- About 20 police officers worked with the fire service and the federal relief agency THW as traffic was restricted on the K7235 during the operation.
- Officials opened a temporary shelter that saw little use because most evacuees stayed with friends or relatives, reflecting routine practice in such cases.
