MUNICH, July 20 -- Two bombs from World War II were discovered and defused on Monday in the southern German state of Bavaria, local police reported.
One 250-kg bomb was found in the district Pasing in Munich. About 1,000 residents including middle school students, who are working and living in houses within a radius of 500 meters, had been evacuated before the bomb was defused successfully, according to the Munich police.
Another bomb was discovered by construction workers near the highway A3 at Nuremberg. Local police then blockaded the area until experts defused the bomb in the afternoon.
For safety reasons, experts searched carefully around the area to see whether there are other explosives.
Due to the removals, traffic in both areas were affected.
Munich and Nuremberg, the capital and the second largest city in Bavaria, were severely damaged in the Second World War.
