IRGC announces controlled munitions disposal in Qom

Iran’s IRGC said residents in the central city of Qom should expect explosion sounds on Saturday afternoon due to a planned operation to destroy munitions from the recent war between Iran, the United States and Israel, which is now under a fragile ceasefire.

In a statement, the public relations office of the IRGC’s Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib unit said a two-stage operation to destroy munitions from the conflict would take place between 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

“The sound of explosions is the result of a technical operation and there is no cause for concern for citizens,” the statement said.
