Officials are investigating how a Navy fighter jet from Virginia dropped a 500-pound laser-guided bomb a mile off target and sparked a wildfire in the Ocala National Forest in Florida.

Naval Air Station Jacksonville says about 150 acres burned after an F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter dropped a bomb that landed outside the target range.

The jet that dropped the bomb was from Strike Fighter Squadron 213, based out of Naval Air Station Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

U.S. Forest Service fire management officer Mike Drayton told the Ocala Star Banner Tuesday's fire was contained. He said no structures were damaged and no one was hurt in the blaze.

Telephone messages left after hours by The Associated Press with Naval Air Station Jacksonville and at Naval Air Station Oceana were not immediately returned. The telephone at a Florida Division of Forestry field office ran unanswered.
