Per one report, 60m (about 200 feet) deep. That’s impressive - can’t even see rubble from the building.

Somebody call the Air Force. Their aim was a bit off but otherwise the test was successful. On to Tehran!

Gulp! A 10 story building from the news feeds. Hopefully everyone was already out once they felt it shifting.

But no reference or link to show that.
