The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has announced that magnetic anomalies detected near the S6 taxiway shoulder at Miyazaki Airport were due to large amounts of iron sand.
Excavation was carried out around 10:00 PM on October 19 to investigate the objects responding to the magnetic survey. Following safety confirmation, the area was refilled, and normal operations resumed at 7:30 AM on October 20.
Previously, on October 2, just before 8:00 AM, an unexploded bomb detonated, causing partial collapse of a taxiway, and the majority of flights on that day were canceled. There were no injuries. It is believed to have been a 250 kg bomb dropped by the U.S. military during wartime.
