Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to Conduct Magnetic Survey for Unexploded Ordnance at Miyazaki Airport

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is set to start a magnetic survey at Miyazaki Airport, following an incident of an unexploded ordnance explosion.

Scheduled to begin on the night of October 16, the survey will cover approximately 1,750 square meters near the S6 taxiway where the unexploded ordnance exploded. The survey aims to search for metallic objects buried beneath the ground surface, including unexploded bombs and abandoned artillery shells.

The unexploded ordnance exploded on October 2, before 8 a.m., causing part of the taxiway to collapse and the cancellation of most flights that day. There were no injuries. The bomb, dropped by the American military during wartime, is believed to have been a 250 kg bomb.
