Streets on both sides of the river were closed while the operation went on. By 10 a.m., the security zone had been evacuated.

Bomb disposal agents retrieved a 100kg Soviet-made device, and dismantled its ignition device in a few moments.
 

They then took the bomb to the Újpest military port where it was to be loaded on to a bomb disposal truck and taken to the central collection point of the Hungarian armed forces for destruction at a later date.
