Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Isfahan Province has announced plans to carry out controlled explosions of unexploded ammunition on Thursday. Officials said the operation forms part of routine safety measures aimed at safely disposing of hazardous military materials.
In an official statement, the IRGC informed residents living near Mount Sofeh and Sepahan Shahr in southern Isfahan that they may hear loud explosions throughout the day. Authorities emphasized that the detonations are planned and should not cause public concern.
The military said specialized teams will conduct the controlled demolitions over the coming hours. These operations target unexploded ordnance that remained in designated areas and requires safe disposal to eliminate potential risks.
Officials urged residents to remain calm if they hear blast sounds during the scheduled operation. They also advised the public to avoid approaching restricted locations while security personnel complete the disposal process.
Controlled demolitions represent a standard procedure used by military explosive disposal units. Security forces regularly destroy damaged or unexploded ammunition to prevent accidental detonations and ensure public safety.
The announcement comes as authorities continue efforts to secure military sites and remove hazardous materials where necessary. Similar operations have taken place in different parts of Iran whenever security officials identify unexploded ordnance.
Military experts note that controlled explosions allow trained personnel to neutralize unstable munitions under carefully monitored conditions. Consequently, these operations reduce risks for nearby communities and infrastructure.
Authorities have not reported any emergency or security incident related to Thursday’s planned detonations. Instead, they described the operation as a precautionary safety measure conducted under controlled conditions.
Officials encouraged residents to follow official updates throughout the day and avoid spreading unverified information regarding the scheduled explosions. The operation is expected to conclude once disposal teams safely eliminate all identified unexploded ammunition.
