World War II Bomb Near Stuttgart TV Tower Set for Defusal

Evacuations and transportation disruptions are underway as experts prepare to neutralize the ordnance discovered during clearance operations.

A World War II-era bomb was found near the Stuttgart TV tower during ordnance clearance in a forested area.
The Waldau recreational area, including the TV tower, has been evacuated, affecting sports facilities, restaurants, and a refugee shelter.
Public transportation services in the vicinity, including train lines U7, U8, U15, and bus line 70, are temporarily halted during the operation.
Bomb disposal experts aim to safely defuse the device on Sunday morning, with a controlled detonation as a backup plan if defusal is not possible.
Authorities expect the operation to conclude by early afternoon, allowing residents and visitors to return to the area if no complications occur.
