Local shop may be able to plug it.

A screenshot with black borders is hideous.

Presumably the question is more about what could cause the tyre to fail like that?
There’s plenty of tread so wear seems unlikely, which leaves impact damage on a sharp edge, or a manufacturing fault I suppose. Could it go like that if it continued to be driven after losing pressure?

Plenty of tread on the shoulder.

Good for a few thousand miles yet.

Best guess, been run at a super low pressure for an extended period of time, i.e months before finally delaminating.

It’s off a pensioners Dacia, isn’t it.

I can think of several plausible causes although I'm not sure if any of them definitely cause this precise damage.

1) Delamination following initial damage by pothole
2) Poor quality retread
3) Just poor quality tyre
4) Tyre being driven with excess weight way above its rating
5) Driven while under-inflated as others have said

Lots of possibilities. Without more information, putting up a picture is pointless.

Would have been nice if the OP had got a few grown-up answers instead of the would-be comedians join gin.

There does appear to be odd markings and deformation foremost in the photo, maybe whacked a kerb or something leading to the failure then it's been driven far too far when failed ?

A friend had a set of brand new Goodyear F1's go like that though after a little diffing.

Presumably also some crappy Chinese tyre ?
