Cologne is undergoing its largest evacuation since World War II as authorities respond to the discovery of three unexploded bombs from the war era. Approximately 20,000 residents are being evacuated from their homes, and significant infrastructures such as hospitals, care homes, schools, and transportation services are temporarily shut down. Major broadcaster RTL had to relocate its operations due to being within the affected zone. The bombs, discovered during construction, are scheduled for detonation on Wednesday, and safety measures include city officials checking on residents to ensure their safety during this emergency operation.
The current evacuation in Cologne, marked as the largest since World War II, was triggered by the discovery of three unexploded bombs from 80 years ago.
Authorities have mobilized to assist approximately 20,000 residents, closing bridges, halting rail traffic, and evacuating critical facilities, including hospitals and care homes.
