The bomb, the second found in the same area in four days, was discovered late Wednesday at an under construction site in the commercial and financial district of Wanchai, Efe news reported. The find led to a deployment of police, who ordered the evacuation from buildings. Early on Thursday the bomb disposal teams were still working in the area to fully unearth the unexploded ordnance. The bomb was found embedded in the ground 10 metres away from where another bomb of the same model that was discovered on January 27, which also prompted an evacuation until it was successfully defused. In 2014, the police deactivated a WWII bomb that weighed almost a ton, the largest ever found in the city so far.
