A World War II bomb found off the coast of Japan has been detonated in an underwater explosion.
The mine, dropped by a US bomber, was discovered in the Kanmon Strait off Shimonoseki in Yamaguchi prefecture during a mine-sweeping operation in June.
The Maritime Self-Defence Force moved the bomb about 3km (1.8 miles) to an area deemed safer for the controlled explosion.
The blast caused water to fly almost 100m in the air.
The MK25 mine, which is about two metres long, was dropped in 1945.
US forces are believed to have dropped around 5,000 mines in the Kanmon Strait during WWII.
