Thousands of people had to be evacuated from a Berlin suburb after a World War II bomb was discovered.
The 50kg bomb was found in Neukolln, prompting police to order some 2,600 people to evacuate their homes.
Transport was disrupted and gas supplies turned off before work to defuse the bomb could begin.
The bomb was discovered to have two detonators and was later described as a "bouncer" by someone who heard one of the detonators go off.
Police later allowed residents to return to their homes and confirmed the bomb had been defused.
Another, bigger bomb was found only last month.
The Russian bomb weighed 250kg and was found in the city's southwest neighbourhood of Zehlendorf.
Berlin, the capital of Nazi Germany, was fiercely bombed during World War II, with hundreds of air raids carried out on the city between 1939 and 1945.
