A World War II bomb or mine exploded in a western German town on Friday, killing the driver of a bulldozer and wounding 13 other people, police said.

The explosion happened in an industrial area of Euskirchen, near Bonn, at a property used by a construction firm to sort and dispose of rubble. It wasn't immediately clear whether the explosives had long been buried in the ground or had inadvertently been brought to the site in a delivery of demolition waste.

The bulldozer driver was fatally injured after his vehicle hit the device and two people who were close by suffered serious injuries. Another 11 people who were in the area were lightly injured.

Windows, roofs and doors as far as 400 meters away were damaged in the blast, police said. Explosives experts were working to determine exactly what the device was.

Unexploded World War II-era bombs are still discovered frequently in Germany, though it is rare for those finds to result in death or injury.

警方报告，上周五，一枚二战时遗留的炸弹在德国西部城市爆炸，挖掘机司机当场死亡，另有13人受伤。

这次爆炸发生在奥伊斯基兴的工业区，靠近波恩，受害的建筑公司当时正在现场处理建筑垃圾，现在还不能确定炸药是早已埋在地下还是临时和建筑废料一起被带到了现场。

挖掘机撞到炸药时司机当场死亡，距离他最近的两名工作人员受伤严重，现场另有11人受轻伤。

方圆四百米内均遭到破坏，窗户、屋顶和门框被爆炸的气浪掀翻，警察称，炸弹专家正在现场工作，以确定炸弹型号。

德国经常发生二战遗留炸弹爆炸事件，但几乎从未导致人员伤亡。
