WWII bomb disposal operation planned near Hannover Medical School, Hanover, Germany, from 08:00 Nov. 30. Tight security, disruptions likely
Authorities plan to defuse an unexploded WWII-era bomb near Hannover Medical School (MHH) in the Gross-Buchholz area of Hanover from 08:00 Nov. 30. Officials will evacuate around 9,000 people within a 1 km (0.6 mile) radius of the site and close roads in the affected area. The Roderbruch Integrated Comprehensive School will serve as an evacuation center. The operation will likely last at least until the evening, and MHH will limit operations until it concludes.
Heightened security measures are likely in the affected area until authorities give the all-clear. Localized transport and business disruptions are probable.
Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the evacuation zone. Strictly heed all instructions from authorities.
