Oct. 4 (UPI) -- The Japanese government will search for potentially unexploded bombs at airports throughout the country after a World War II-era bomb detonated at Miyazaki Airport earlier this week.

Japan's transportation minister Tetsuo Saito on Friday ordered an urgent search that will focus on runways, taxiways, and other locations at airports that were the target of heavy bombardment by American and British forces during the war.
