The controlled explosion is likely to be carried out in daylight hours (Friday). Update: A dive at 1130 today confirmed that the device was in fact detonated at 0700 this morning. There was no plume at 0700 which led the RN bomb disposal team to believe that a second controlled explosion was necessary. https://youtu.be/1yuWg8QbMYw
