WWII Bomb Unearthed in Polish Town Forces Mass Evacuation

Approximately 14,000 people were evacuated in the Polish town of Lublin after a 250-kilogram (550-pound) unexploded bomb, believed to be from World War II, was discovered by builders. Military experts successfully removed the bomb for neutralization, allowing residents to return home. The area was closed off for safe transportation of the explosive, and authorities are examining the bomb to confirm its origin. Poland frequently uncovers World War II bombs during construction, and the country's construction boom has increased the occurrence of such findings.
