DUBAI — A loud noise heard on Wednesday in the southeastern Iranian city of Kerman was caused by the destruction of old ammunition, the governor of Kerman province said, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.
"The source of the loud noise heard today was the destruction of old ammunition by the army in a barrack located 30 km west of Kerman," the governor said.
Iranian media had earlier reported an unexplained loud noise, which had shook buildings in the city of Kerman.
