A historic munition has been discovered submerged 12 meters deep, about fifty meters from the beach to the east of the Promenade des Anglais.
It is an American aerial bomb, model ANM64, weighing 250 kg, dating back to World War II. It will need to be moved to be neutralized offshore.
In the meantime, precautionary measures have been put in place, including the prohibition of all nautical activities (swimming, diving, navigation) within a 100-meter radius around the munition. Access is also prohibited in a 50-meter perimeter on the beach in this area.
The zone is also under continuous surveillance, and adhering to the bans in the affected area is absolutely imperative.
