MOSCOW (Sputnik) — A World War Two bomb containing 286 pounds of explosives has been found in the water not far from a seaside promenade in the southern French city of Nice, local media reported Thursday.
The ordinance was discovered off Promenade des Anglais by a diver, the Nice Matin newspaper reported. It is lying at the depth of 40 feet and is estimated to weigh 550 pounds.
The paper said a nearby beach had been evacuated and ships had been warned off the area. A bomb squad was called to the site to determine if the bomb can be detonated at sea.
