Approximately 1,200 homes in Plymouth, Devon are being evacuated after a suspected unexploded World War Two bomb was discovered at a building site on Flamborough Road. Police extended the initial 200m cordon to 400m following advice from military bomb disposal experts. The Royal Navy Explosives Ordnance Disposal team is on site assessing the device. Plymouth was heavily bombed during WWII with at least 2,820 bombs falling on the city, around 10% failing to detonate.
