An explosion reported in eastern Tehran province is attributed to the controlled disposal of ammunition left over from a past war, according to Iranian state media citing a local official. The blasts were reported to have been heard in areas including Pakdasht and Qiyamdasht. State media initially said the sound was detected but that the source and exact location were not immediately known. The local official later described the event as a planned operation to dispose of remaining ammunition, saying it does not pose a threat to citizens. The official also stated that no incident had occurred. Both outlets report the same account: the explosion is linked to safety or disposal activities rather than an attack or uncontrolled event. The reports focus on the official’s assessment that the public should not be alarmed and that the operation is managed in a controlled manner. No additional details about the specific ammunition or the operational site are provided in the available summaries.
