Potentially thousands of undiscovered World War II bombs are believed to exist around the world, posing a serious threat to public safety. In recent times, experts have had to deactivate these bombs in densely populated areas. This was the case in Great Yarmouth, a town in Norfolk, UK where a major incident was declared after a World War II bomb exploded unexpectedly. The blast occurred during an attempt by experts to disarm the bomb, leading to it being referred to as an "unplanned detonation". Thankfully, no one was hurt in the explosion, as confirmed by Norfolk police. The force also shared footage of the explosion on their official Twitter account. The blast led to the evacuation of hundreds of people from their homes and workplaces. Efforts to use specialized robots to defuse the device were unsuccessful, resulting in the unplanned detonation. The security force stated that the device exploded during the slow burnout process to disarm the remaining explosives. At
