The detonation of a US bombshell at Miyazaki Airport has led to the closure of the facility, canceling nearly 90 flights and creating significant disruption.
The buried bomb exploded near the runway of Miyazaki Airport, leaving a crater seven meters wide and causing the immediate grounding of all flights for the day.
No injuries were reported, though an airplane was seen taxiing near the blast site, highlighting the potential danger posed by historic wartime ordnance.
More than 79 years since World War II ended, unexploded bombs from air strikes continue to be discovered throughout Japan, including at previously used military sites.
