German disposal experts successfully defused two World War II bombs discovered in the western German city of Dortmund on Sunday. Around 14,000 residents were evacuated from their homes prior to the operation.
The bombs were 250 kilograms (550 pounds) and were successfully deactivated on Sunday. The incident took place after officials shut down the city’s main train station and ordered thousands of people to leave their homes before they began the bomb removal operation, Deutsche Welle reported.
