Iran says deep-buried 'bunker-buster' bomb neutralised




An unexploded “bunker buster” bomb dropped during attacks on Iran has been safely neutralised in Yazd Province, according to Tasnim News Agency.

The bomb was buried about 13 metres underground in a residential area after failing to detonate.

Officials said the high-risk operation was carried out jointly by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and local bomb disposal units, successfully removing the threat without incident.
