Greek army specialists Thursday destroyed an unexploded World War II bomb discovered during work on a massive urban development project at a coastal area south of Athens.

希臘陸軍專家週四摧毀1枚未爆炸的二戰炸彈，該炸彈是在雅典南部沿海地區的大型城市開發案中發現的。

Authorities said the 500-pound bomb was destroyed without a detonation after traffic in the area was halted for more than two hours and several nearby apartment blocks had been evacuated as a precaution.

當局表示，這枚重500磅的炸彈在沒有引爆的情況下被摧毀，該地區交通為此中斷2個多小時，附近幾棟公寓大樓也被疏散，以防萬一。

The urban development project will include a park, shopping malls, hotels, a casino and multiple leisure facilities near the seaside Glyfada area, south of the capital. Work got underway last year and is due to be completed in 2026.

這個城市開發案將包括在首都南部鄰近海濱的吉利法達地區，打造公園、購物中心、飯店、賭場和多個休閒設施。該開發案已於去年開始動工，預計2026年完工。

“Everything went well, and we thank all the agencies involved: the specialized army unit, the fire department and the traffic police. As the excavations progress, more unexploded ordnance may be discovered, ” Glyfada Mayor Giorgos Papanikolaou told reporters near the site.

吉利法達市市長喬亞戈斯‧帕帕尼科拉烏在現場附近對記者表示：「一切都進行的很順利，我們感謝所有相關機構：特種部隊、消防部門和交警。隨著挖掘工作的進展，可能會發現更多未爆炸的彈藥。」
