Explosions Heard in Iran’s Qeshm Island Due to Disposal of Enemy Ammunition

DUBAI, May 19 (Reuters) – ⁠Explosions ⁠were heard ⁠in Iran’s Qeshm island on ​Tuesday due to the neutralization ‌of unexploded enemy ‌ammunition, the semi-official ⁠Iranian ⁠Tasnim news agency said, citing a local ​official. The country’s Mehr news agency had earlier reported the ​sound of explosions, saying the ⁠cause was ⁠unknown. U.S. President Donald ⁠Trump ​said on Monday he had paused ​a planned ⁠resumption of attacks on Iran after Tehran sent a new peace ⁠proposal to Washington, and that there was now ⁠a “very good chance” of reaching a deal limiting Iran’s nuclear programme. Reuters could not determine whether preparations had been made for strikes that would mark a ⁠renewal of the war the U.S. and Israel started on February 28.

Iran issues Dubai warning – ‘UAE will pay’ as explosions reported in Hormuz | World | News

Iranian state media has warned that the UAE will “pay the price” if the country is found to have committed “hostile actions” in connection with explosions at Bahman Pier. Explosions have been reported in the city of Bandar Abbas as well as the island of Qeshm, according to the Fars and Mehr news agencies. Bandar Abbas is to the north of the Strait of Hormuz, while Qeshm is an island in the vital waterway.

Deafening Explosions in the Sky Rock Northeast Ohio

Deafening Explosions in the Sky Rock Northeast Ohio

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech Residents in Cleveland, Ohio were startled after hearing “loud booms” and a “series of rumbling,” on Tuesday morning at around 9 am Eastern time. “Sounded like a few sonic booms, and then rumbling,” one puzzled Reddit user wrote. “Not entirely consistent with aircraft, or thunder.” “Should I be concerned I heard it sounded like someone dropped something heavy on the roof of my building,” another spooked resident added. Officials from the National Weather Service have since confirmed that the booms were likely a “result of a meteor,” a fireball that broke the sound barrier as it entered the Earth’s atmosphere. A map built using data from NASA’s Geostationary Lightning Mapper showed the location of the significant flare-up. And a video shared by the National Weather Service in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, shows the meteor lighting up against the blue morning sky as it tumbles toward the ground. The terminology surrounding the forceful celestial events is confusing. Meteoroids are rocks that …
