Water workers unveil century-old bomb from the Battle of Gallipoli
Turkish workers have discovered an unused bomb believed to be from the Battle of Gallipoli.
Workers at the state waterworks authority in the village of Kilitbahir in the northwestern province of Çanakkale uncovered the century-old bomb while digging a water supply canal.
During the dig, workers found a 150-kilogram, 73-centimeter long bomb, which is believed to have been underground for 99 years.
After being informed, the gendarmerie arrived and closed the area for safety reasons.
The bomb is believed to have been launched from a battleship during the Battle of Gallipoli, remaining hidden underground without detonating for nearly a century.
After being notified of the discovery, the authorities worked to defuse the bomb.
