Updated: 9:19 a.m. ET Feb. 16, 2005TEHRAN, Iran - Iranian state television said Wednesday an explosion near Deilam may have been caused by a fuel tank dropping from an Iranian airplane in the region.
Iranian TV had earlier reported an explosion and the shooting off of anti-aircraft fire in the region of an Iranian nuclear facility.
"A powerful explosion was heard this morning on the outskirts of Deilam in the Bushehr province. Witnesses said that the missile was fired from an unknown plane 12 miles from the city," Iran's Arabic language Al-Alam said, according to Reuters.
A spokesman for Iran's Interior Ministry said Wednesday that he could not confirm the television reports.
"We cannot confirm the reports at this point. We are checking," said the Interior Ministry spokesman, Jahanbakhsh Khanjani.
Iran's Russian-built 1,000-megawatt nuclear reactor, its only nuclear power plant, is due to start operating in Bushehr province in late 2005.
