US WWII Bomb Safely Removed in Belgrade
A very old and big bomb from World War II was found in a building area in the city of Belgrade, Serbia.
This bomb was made by the US and was used during the war.
The police and army worked together to safely move the bomb away from the city to a special place where it will be destroyed.
People living near the bomb were asked to leave their homes for safety.
This is not the first time such old bombs have been found in Serbia.
Other big bombs from different wars have also been found and safely removed in the past few years.
A 470-kg US-made WWII bomb was safely removed from a construction site in central Belgrade.
The bomb was used during Allied air raids on German positions in 1944.
