The device, believed to be a petrol bomb with a detonator, was found at Kingswood substation on Smith Street just before 9 am on Thursday morning. 

New South Wales police have confirmed an operation is under way at Smith St near Fragar Road, and an exclusion zone had been established.

Nearby Nepean Hospital told AAP it was not evacuating but was taking advice from NSW Police.

The nearby Kingswood South Public School remains open.

At least one home neighbouring the substation has been evacuated, according to posts on social media.

NSW Police said a number of unattended objects were found at the scene. But initial examination could not confirm the contents of these objects.
