What happened

ARP logs record three high-explosive bombs falling in the vicinity of St Andrew's Road and Victoria Road, the streets running alongside what is now Exmouth Marina.

Also worth knowing

UXO analysts have since suggested a fourth bomb from this raid may have fallen unnoticed into the water — the likely origin of the device dredged up at the marina in January 2026.
