Scores of unexploded bombs dating from World War II have been recovered from a children's playground in northern England after a chance discovery.

在英格兰北部的一个儿童游乐场，工作人员偶然发现数十枚未爆炸弹，这些炸弹可追溯至第二次世界大战。

Local officials in the town of Wooler, Northumberland called in bomb disposal experts after workers involved in a planned overhaul of Scotts Play Park found unexploded ordnance, the parish council said in a statement sent to CNN on Monday.

诺森伯兰郡伍勒镇的地方官员在得知斯科特游乐公园计划大修期间工人发现未爆炸药后，随即呼叫炸弹处理专家前来， 教区委员会周一发送给美国有线电视新闻网的一份声明中如此说道。

Two bombs were initially removed by the British Army, the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement. The parish council was then advised that a full survey of the area was required, according to a council spokesperson.

英国国防部在一份声明中表示，英国陆军最初移除了两枚炸弹。 教区委员会发言人表示，之后当局建议对该区域进行全面调查。

Bomb disposal company Brimstone Site Investigation then uncovered 65 10-pound practice bombs and smoke cartridges on the first day of works, with a further 90 practice bombs recovered on the second day.

在首日工作中，炸弹处理公司Brimstone现场调查发现了65枚10磅重的训练弹和烟雾弹， 次日又回收了90枚训练弹。

The company told CNN that the bombs date from World War II.

该公司向CNN表示，这些炸弹可追溯至第二次世界大战。

According to the parish council, all of the bombs need to be found and removed before the park can be reopened. It said 174 devices had been found so far.

教区委员会称，公园在重新开放前，必须找到并移除所有炸弹。 据称，迄今为止已发现174件爆炸装置。

"Whilst this ordnance is described as practice bombs, they do still carry a charge and given the numbers involved, need to be recovered by professionals to satisfy all concerned that the playpark area is once again safe for contractors and ultimately users of the equipment," the council said in its statement.

“尽管这些炸弹被描述为训练弹，但它们仍装有炸药，且数量众多， 因此需要专业人员回收，以确保所有相关人员确信游乐区对承包商以及最终的设备使用者来说再次变得安全，” 教区委员会在声明中表示。

Local politician Mark Mather told the BBC that the area was reportedly used to train the Home Guard volunteer army during World War II, and it appeared that after the war the ordnance was buried.

当地政客马克·马瑟告诉英国广播公司，该地区据称在第二次世界大战期间被用作训练本土防卫队志愿军的场所， 战后这些爆炸装置似乎被掩埋。

Further excavations will be carried out to make sure the playground is completely free from unexploded ordnance before new equipment is installed, the parish council added.

教区委员会补充说，在安装新设备之前，将进一步挖掘以确保游乐场完全没有未爆炸药。

In February 2024, thousands of residents were evacuated in Plymouth, southwest England, as authorities worked to remove an unexploded 500-kilogram (1,102-pound) bomb discovered in a garden in the city.

2024年2月，英格兰西南部普利茅斯数千名居民被疏散， 因为当局正在移除在该市一座花园中发现的一枚未爆炸的500千克（1102磅）炸弹。

This is not the only time that unexploded ordnance has been discovered in England recently.

这并非近期在英国发现的唯一未爆炸药。

The bomb was moved before being disposed of at sea, after it was decided that detonating it in situ would have risked significant damage to nearby properties.

在决定原地引爆可能会给附近财产造成重大损失后，炸弹被移走并在海上销毁。
