An unexploded bomb was found inside a squid when the fish was slaughtered at a fish market in Guangdong province.

The bomb was later detonated by police in Jiaoling county, Meizhou city, who arrived at the scene after being alerted by a stall owner, Guangzhou Daily reported on Sunday.

Police said the bomb, about 20 centimeters long and weighing 1.5 kg, had surface rust and could have exploded if handled improperly.

The stall owner, who has been selling fish for 10 years, told the newspaper the 1-meter-long squid might have mistaken the bomb for food.
