An unexploded U.S. bomb from World War II detonated at Miyazaki Airport in Japan, creating a large crater and canceling over 80 flights. No injuries occurred, and no aircraft were nearby. The explosion was confirmed to be from a 500-pound U.S. bomb, with no further danger present. The taxiway was repaired overnight, allowing flights to resume Thursday. Miyazaki Airport, originally a Japanese Navy training field, has a history of unexploded ordnance from U.S. bombings.
