Overview

  • Kampfmittelräumdienst ordered immediate neutralization because an uncontrolled detonation would endanger life and limb.
  • Authorities plan an on‑site controlled detonation by the evening, and a loud bang is expected during the operation.
  • Police said almost no household evacuations are needed since no residential area lies within the affected zone.
  • The area within a 1,000‑meter radius of the discovery is closed to the public for the duration of the measures.
  • The operation follows another recent bomb case in Frankfurt‑Preungesheim about two and a half weeks earlier.
