WWII bomb found in Chania triggers evacuation, road closures

A WWII-era bomb discovered during construction in central Chania prompted a three-hour operation by army bomb disposal experts, with police and firefighters closing roads within a 300-meter radius and evacuating four schools. The situation is ongoing, and the bomb's condition and removal timeline remain uncertain. This is a localized infrastructure and public-safety event with no broader geopolitical or market implications.
