On the morning of October 17, a bomb was discovered in a busy area of Nagoya, Japan, according to a report by the Asahi Shimbun. The device was identified as a 250-kilogram unexploded American incendiary bomb.

The bomb was found at a demolition site in central Nagoya, just 750 meters from the Aichi Prefectural Government office in a bustling commercial district.

A worker operating heavy machinery unearthed a rusty, cylindrical object approximately three meters underground and promptly alerted the authorities.

In response, members of the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force and Aichi Prefectural Police were dispatched to the scene, confirming that the device was an incendiary bomb manufactured in the United States, measuring 36 centimeters in diameter, 123 centimeters in length, and weighing around 250 kilograms. However, the timing of when the bomb was dropped has not yet been disclosed.

Additionally, the Self-Defense Force has begun coordinating efforts to defuse the bomb.
