US airforce practice bomb has been dropped on the Yorkshire countryside.
A spokesman for the United States airforce (USAF) said on Monday that the 25-pound BDU-33 training bomb landed in an area near Holme on Spalding Moor - six miles south west of Market Weighton in East Yorkshire.
The accident happened at about 1715 GMT on 8 January.
The device was dropped from an RAF Lakenheath F-15 fighter jet.
It was an inert practice bomb and no-one was hurt in the incident.
First Lieutenant Augustine Ekpoudom said: "There were no injuries, limited property damage, and the inert munition was recovered.
"The F-15E Strike Eagle was conducting a routine training mission at the time of the incident.
"Trained and experienced base personnel including Ministry of Defence, and local constabulary authorities responded to the scene and an investigation team is determining the cause of the incident."
