Dad Shares Innocent Photo Of His Son At Beach, Authorities Act Fast After Spotting Small Detail

A beach day in Burry Port, Carmarthenshire nearly turned tragic after a family unknowingly played on a WWII-era bomb. Kelly Gravell’s children, aged six and four, were photographed jumping on the seaweed-covered device, mistaking it for a buoy.

Days later, rangers identified it as an unexploded mine. A bomb squad safely detonated it. Their father, Gareth, shared the shocking discovery online, joking, “Oops,” alongside photos of the near miss.
