Explosions May Be Heard From Camp Pendleton Due To Bombing Practice

CAMP PENDLETON — Marine Corps pilots will be practice bombing at Camp Pendleton Thursday, base officials said.

The training will take place in the Zulu impact area, near the center of North County base, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to Camp Pendleton's public affairs office.

Explosions may be heard up to 50 miles away, depending on atmospheric conditions.

KPBS has created a public safety coverage policy to guide decisions on what stories we prioritize, as well as whose narratives we need to include to tell complete stories that best serve our audiences. This policy was shaped through months of training with the Poynter Institute and feedback from the community. You can read the full policy here.
