Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reports that an unexploded GBU “bunker buster” bomb, dropped during US-Israeli attacks and buried 13 metres (42 feet) beneath a residential area in Yazd province, has been successfully neutralised and removed, according to Al Jazeera.

Yazd deputy provincial governor for security told the news outlet that the bomb struck a residential area during the war but failed to detonate and was lodged deep underground.
