Operations to secure the explosive device found in Foggia on the construction site of a building under construction have begun. It was the construction company workers who spotted the little girl and stopped the work in time.
The operations to secure the explosive device found in Foggia, in via Spalato, by the 11th Army Bombardment Regiment began in the morning.
The bomb, from the American Air Force dating back to the Second World War, emerged during work on a construction site for the construction of a building, where until recently there was the State Monopoly Building.
Loaded with explosives and functional, when detonated the device can affect an area of up to two kilometres.
The intervention of the bomb squad is on the fuzes of the device, an operation that cannot be quantified in time. At the moment there is no evacuation for the inhabitants, it cannot be completely ruled out for the next few days. It is not the first time that war devices have been found in Foggia, especially in the surrounding areas on railway sites, the object of Allied bombing which caused thousands of victims.
