A 100kg Soviet-made WWII bomb was found at a construction site in downtown Miskolc, in northern Hungary, on Wednesday morning, a communications officer of the Hungarian army’s bomb disposal squad told MTI.

Explosives experts established that the bomb had a detonator, which must be defused at the site, Milán Gajdos said.

Local residents, more than 100 people, were evacuated from 32 buildings in an area with a 200 metre radius around the site, he said.
