A Japanese airport canceled all flights due to a powerful explosion (2 photos + 1 video)
It turned out that this was not an act of terrorism, but an echo of a long-past war. 
An explosion thundered at the airport in Miyazaki Prefecture. The emergency occurred at eight in the morning local time, and at nine o'clock the airport management announced the cancellation of all flights and the evacuation of personnel and passengers.
It is noted that the explosion occurred on the taxiway. A crater seven meters in diameter and about a meter deep formed in its place. It is noted that the asphalt surface of the taxiway was also damaged.
As emergency services later found out, the cause of the explosion was an unexploded American shell from World War II. According to local media, American ammunition had previously been found on the territory of the airport.
Miyazaki Airport is located on the site of a former air base of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which, apparently, was subjected to serious bombing by the US Army.
