A huge bomb left over from World War Two has been found in the Greek city of Thessaloniki.
At least 70,000 people have been evacuated so that a 225kg World War Two bomb can be defused.
The bomb is one of the largest wartime bombs to be found in Greece.
The bomb was discovered during road works last week and is due to be disposed of over the weekend.
Officials say it is too degraded to tell if it is German or an Allied bomb.
The military said an operation of this size and complexity is the first of its kind in Greece. About 1000 police officers and 300 volunteers will be deployed ahead of the disposal operation.
The military said it would try to defuse the bomb’s detonator before taking the device to an army firing range, where a decision be made as to how best neutralise it.
