Germany: World War II munitions and bombs explode in storage site

Germany: World War II munitions and bombs explode in storage site

Explosions, white smoke, disrupted transport: a fire broke out in Berlin’s largest forest on Wednesday, a very unusual event, from a police ammunition depot, media reported.

The skies over Berlin took on a very unusual look in the heart of summer, with billowing white smoke visible over a large wooded area in the southwest of the German capital, Grunewald

At regular intervals explosions sounded in the morning.

But firefighters still can’t get the situation under control.

“The fire is still not under control and continues to spread. The situation is totally unusual because we have munitions of war on the site, which prevent relief from deploying,” said Thomas Kirstein, Berlin fire department spokesman.
