An explosion rocked the airport in Japan's Miyazaki Prefecture this morning, causing serious damage to one of the taxiways. Local authorities immediately suspended all flights, and the nearest flights were cancelled for safety reasons. According to Japanese media, experts are investigating the incident, but the exact cause of the explosion remains unclear at this time.
The explosion caused concern among passengers and airport staff, but according to preliminary information, there were no casualties. However, airport management decided to temporarily close part of the infrastructure to conduct a thorough check of all systems and equipment.
While official sources have refrained from commenting on the nature of the explosion, security measures have been stepped up at the airport and in the surrounding areas.
