A World War II bomb found in Budapest’s District XVIII will be defused in place on October 18. The operation will require an area to be closed and evacuated, with restrictions also affecting traffic on Üllői Road.
The Hungarian Defence Forces’ bomb disposal service told MTI that police received a report on October 8 about a suspected explosive device at a construction site at 404 Üllői Road. Other unexploded ordnance had previously been found in the area and safely removed for disposal.
The bomb disposal patrol identified the device as a Soviet FAB-100 bomb. Its condition means it cannot be transported safely, making on-site defusing necessary.
