All army &#038; emergency service personnel are accounted for. We will bring you further info when we have it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The bomb that has yet to be detonated is in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/GreatYarmouth?src=hash&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#GreatYarmouth<\/a> detonated earlier during work to disarm it. Our drone captured the moment. We can confirm that no one was injured.
