Unexploded World War II bomb found in a garden in England

Authorities in the English city of Plymouth announced on Friday that an unexploded World War II bomb found in a garden has been safely taken out to sea and detonated.

The discovery prompted the cordoning off of parts of the southern English city, affecting up to 10,000 people to facilitate the removal of the device by bomb disposal experts, as stated by local parliament member Johnny Mercer on social media.

A government statement revealed that the decision to detonate the bomb at sea was made after considering various options, including a controlled detonation on-site.

Tudor Evans, leader of Plymouth City Council, acknowledged the historic impact of the incident on the city and praised the wartime spirit demonstrated by the community.

The bomb was meticulously loaded onto a lorry, which then transported it slowly to a slipway for loading onto a boat. The boat carried the bomb out to sea, where it was safely detonated, CNN reported.
