Commuter traffic at a busy train station in Paris was halted after an unexploded World War II bomb was discovered under the tracks. The French Transport Minister stated that travel would be disrupted throughout the day but reassured the public that there was no risk of explosion. All train services, including Eurostar trains to London, Brussels, and Amsterdam, were canceled until the bomb was safely removed. Workers uncovered the bomb during routine construction activities, leading to the evacuation of the area. Unexploded bombs from previous wars are regularly found in France, with a similar incident occurring in 2019 near the same train station. Authorities determined that the bomb found in 2019 was likely dropped by the British Royal Air Force during World War II. Such incidents highlight the ongoing risks associated with unexploded ordnance in areas affected by past conflicts, prompting the need for cautious and deliberate disposal procedures to ensure public safety and minimize disruptions to transportation services.
