There has been another explosion in Gower which was seen and heard for miles around

There's been another loud explosion that was heard across Swansea Bay.

Just two days after a blast near Llanmadoc, in Gower, on Tuesday night, another one caught residents' attention on Thursday night.

This time a cloud of smoke was seen over the Penclawdd area, with onlookers speculating that a bomb had exploded. Once again the blast was heard throughout Gower and across the bay in Llanelli.

Keith Griffiths said: "Heard it from inside my house in Seaside." Mair Pugh added: "Yes, in Bigyn too."

Carol Allen also said: "It was across near Gower, I saw the smoke."

While Dave Morris said: "That explains the bang I heard from Port Eynon."

Some residents reported seeing Royal Navy vehicles in the area and it has now been confirmed there is a link between them and the recent blasts.

How the authorities deal with an unexploded bomb:

What happens when an unexploded bomb is found?

The Royal Navy confirmed it carried out the explosion which was part of an ongoing project Royal Navy diving units had been involved with for a number of years.

The divers have been detonating a number of wartime bombs, shells and flares across the Gower peninsula as part of a 60-year mission to clear the Welsh countryside of unexploded ordnance.

The last time the divers were in Wales from their base in Devonport was in February this year.
