Devon and Cornwall Police and the British Army today addressed the country after an unexploded World War II bomb was found in Plymouth, Devon.
More than 1000 homes have been evacuated and a no-fly zone has been put in place after the bomb was discovered on a building site.
The army confirmed it was a 250kg German bomb with 130kg of explosives.
The army also said they cannot ascertain whether or not it's safe to move so they've opted to destroy the device where it is.
They are to do so tomorrow with as little damage to the surrounding area as possible.
Even after 80 years World War II can still put Brits' lives at risk. How many of these unexploded German bombs are lying around our country, unseen and unknown?
