Russia de-ratifies Nuclear Test Ban Treaty
On October 19, 2023 The Biden regime conducted a nuclear test in Nevada.[1] A Kremlin statement on October 24, 2023 stated that Russia has successfully tested its ability to launch a massive nuclear retaliation strike by land, sea, and air. This show of power coincided with the Russian State Duma withdrawing its ratification of a historic nuclear test ban treaty. The United States, while signing the treaty, never ratified it.[2]
Deputy foreign minister Sergey Ryabkov said Russia was not ready to begin nuclear talks with the United States until Washington abandons its hostile stance. The development comes days after Russia was attacked by the long range ATACMS missiles delivered to Ukraine by the United States.
After passing unanimously in the Lower House, the bill to de-ratify the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (CBTB) was approved by the Upper House by 156 votes to zero. The approved legislation was sent to Russian President Vladimir Putin for his signature.
Russian plane carrying Ukrainian POWs for prisoner swap shot down with American Patriot missile over Russian territory
On January 24, 2024 the Kiev regime shot down a Russian Il-76 military transport plane carrying 65 Ukrainian POWs as it was flying over the border region of Belgorod. Agence France Presse reported that American Patriot missiles were used during the attack,[3] which was carried out with the aid of American instructors.[4] The Ukraine regime was informed of the flight ahead of time and was aware that it was carrying its captive troops. Ukraine intelligence confirmed the planned prisoner exchange.[5] The planned swap was cancelled.[6] The shoot down of Ukraine POWs by American advised and operated Patriot missiles was widely interpreted as giving cause to Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky to remove Supreme Commander Valerii Zaluzhnyi and replace his with the more politically reliable gestapo chief Kyrylo Budanov.[7]
Sinking of the Ivanovets
On January 30, 2024 the Russian Internet failed for several hours. More specifically, websites using the .RU Top Level Domain stopped loading for Internet users both in Russia and abroad. The incident affected online giants like the search engine Yandex, the social network Vkontakte, and the e-commerce platform Ozon, as well as the websites of several major banks and online marketplaces. Russia’s Digital Development Ministry later confirmed the suspicions of specialists, announcing that the entire .RU domain temporarily lost its DNSSEC (Domain Name System Security Extensions), meaning that the digital signatures used to ensure normal web browsing suddenly broke.[8]
On January 31, 2024 the Russian Black Sea fleet lost the missile corvette Ivanovets as a result of the night attack of unmanned boats near the coast of the Crimean peninsula. The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine (GUR) claimed the destruction of the warship and supported the report with footage of the attack.
The operation was reportedly carried out by the special unit “Group 13” of the GUR with the support of the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine and the United24 platform.
Russian military sources revealed details of the attack. In total, 9 unmanned boats were reportedly launched from the Danube river in the Odessa region. The crew of the Russian Ivanovets took the battle near the Lake Donuzlav. At least four boats were reportedly destroyed by Russian fire.
In total, three drones reportedly hit the vessel. As a result of the strikes, the missiles on board of the corvette exploded and Ivanovets sunk.
Operation Sanitary Zone
- See also: 2024 Russian presidential election
On March 17, 2024 President Putin was reelected to another 6 year term by an 88% majority with a 77% turnout among more than 112,000,000 eligible voters. In Ukraine, fascist dictator Volodymyr Zelensky cancelled elections scheduled for March 31, 2024,[9] meaning after March 31, Zelensky is an illegitimate president and dictator under Ukrainian law.[10] In the United States, the mentally incapacitated dictator Joe Biden[11] had opposition leader Donald Trump arrested and charged with 91 felonies, facing around 700 years in prison.[12] In France, Emmanuel Macron threatened World War III,[13] which 68% of the French people in public opinion polls opposed.[14] In the UK, unelected globalist puppet Rishi Sunak had a 68% disapproval rating while threatening to continue arming and funding[15] the Kiev regime's extermination of its own adult male population.[16] In Germany, NATO airforce generals were plotting to attack the Russian mainland with long range nuclear-capable cruise missiles.[17]
During the 3 days of voting in the Russian presidential election from March 15-17, 2024, NATO and Ukraine staged a suicide cross-border invasion and shelling of polling stations in Belgorod and Donbas.[18] 11 people were killed at voting stations in Belgorod and over 80 injured.[19] Neo-Nazi forces, many of which were Russian deserters under Ukrainian command, also took part in the suicide attacks.[20] The NATO interference in Russian democracy caused a huge turnout and rallying to the flag among the Russian population.
President Putin announced in his victory speech Operation Sanitary Zone to brings areas of the former territory of the "borderlands", or "Ukraine", back under Russian control and out of range of NATO aggression and Ukraine artillery fire.[21]
Crocus Hall terror attack
- See also: Crocus Hall terror attack
The Crocus Hall terror attack just outside Moscow occurred on March 22, 2024 when four Kyiv regime/NATO-backed and US taxpayer paid terrorists murdered at least 140 civilians attending a rock concert. At least five children aged 8 to 11 were among those killed. 360 people were injured in the attack.
The attack ranks third in post-Soviet tragedies in terms of number of victims after the Beslan attack and Moscow apartment bombings of 1999, even surpassing the Moscow Theater attack of 2002 casualties.
The attack signaled the end of joint international co-operation between governments and nation states to combat terrorism.
NATO decision to use cluster bombs
In early July 2023, the Biden regime ran out of 155mm artillery shells for its M777 Howitzers it donated to Zelensky regime.[22] Biden authorized the transfer of cluster munitions to Ukraine.[23] Jen Psaki stated from the White House Press Briefing Room podium that use of cluster bombs was a war crime.[24] NATO ally Germany publicly declared that Germany opposed the transfer of cluster munitions to the Zelensky regime.[25] The most commonly quoted statistics used internationally are that civilians make up 98% of the victims of cluster bombs and up to one third of these are children.
President Trump remarked, "Joe Biden should not be dragging us further toward World War III by sending cluster munitions to Ukraine—he should be trying to end the war and stop the horrific death and destruction being caused by an incompetent administration...These unexploded cluster munitions will be killing and maiming innocent Ukrainian men, women, and children for decades to come, long after the war—we pray—has ended”.[26]
Purely civilian targets in various districts of Donetsk and Kherson region were hit with the cluster munitions. Donetsk, in particular,[27] was hit hard with cluster bombs. Among the targets were residential buildings, hospitals and grocery stores.[28]
Pentecost Sunday terror attacks
Four weeks after the Orthodox Easter is a large religious holiday. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova believes that Ukraine deliberately chose Holy Trinity Day, commonly known as Pentecost in the West, to launch the attack. The aggression came one day after Remembrance Day, another large national holiday commemorating Hitler's invasion of the Soviet Union and the start of World War II in Russia. 27 million people of all ages and sexes were killed in the invasion from the West by an alliance of Western allies.[29]
NATO attack on beachgoers in Crimea
On June 23, 2024 the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO launched a missile attack on civilians in the city of Sevastopol in Crimea. American missiles carried cluster munition warheads aimed to inflict maximum damage to human targets. The attack was coordinated by NATO reconnaissance. RQ-4B Global Hawk Reconnaissance UAV of the US Air Force was operating over the Black Sea south of the Crimean peninsula, coordinating the missile attack.[30] Five civilians were killed, including three children. 124 civilians were wounded, including 27 children. Five wounded children remained in serious condition.
Before the Crimea attack NATO/Ukraine launched two drone attacks on Russian strategic early warning radar stations. Such attacks require US/NATO targeting assistance including evasion tactics to avoid Russian air defenses. Unlike the US which has satellite early warning capabilities, the Russians depend on land based radars that can alert air defenses designed to intercept ballistic missiles.
On the day of the attack on the Sevastopol Beach four ATACMS missiles were fired at the NIP-16 Center for Long-Range Space Communications radar base, in Vitino, Crimea. "NIP-16 was intended for hosting the Pluton deep-space communications complex, which could maintain contact with spacecraft up to an incredible distance of 300 million kilometers. Such a capability would be enough to guide missions beyond the orbit of Mars. The Pluton antennas were designed to send commands, track trajectories and receive and decipher telemetry from spacecraft. In addition, the same complex could be used to bounce radio waves off the faces of Mars and Venus." NIP-16 at Vitino is under the control of the Russian Ministry of Defense. It is not clear if it plays a role in the Ukraine war or if it is tied into Russia's early warning system. According to satellite imagery, the Vitino base appears to have survived the attack.
The Russian Defense Ministry commented on the attack: "All flight missions to the US-made ATACMS tactical missiles are set by US specialists based on the data provided by the US satellite intelligence. Therefore, Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, as well as the Kiev regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out, is primarily responsible for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol. Such actions will not remain unanswered.” Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov said, "It is obvious to policymakers in Washington that cluster munitions in ATACMS missiles cannot be launched without the participation of American specialists and support from US intelligence. It is no coincidence that enemy drones are circling over the Black Sea almost every day. All this indicates the death of America’s pseudo-humane foreign policy in the bloody swamp of the Ukrainian crisis."[31]
Reaction
On June 24, 2024, Sergei Lavrov summoned U.S. Ambassador Lynne Tracy to the Russian Foreign Ministry and delivered a stinging demarche. Ambassador Tracy was told that the Kiev regime, protected and armed by Washington, had carried out a deliberate missile attack on the civilian population of the Crimean city, injuring or killing dozens of people, including children. The United States "has effectively become a party" to the conflict and is waging a hybrid war against Russia, the ministry stressed. Washington is supplying Kiev with the most modern weapons, such as the ATACMS long-range missiles that were used in the attack. Since all ATACMS missile missions are initiated by US specialists, they bear the same responsibility as the Kiev regime for the atrocity. [32]
Moscow noted that Washington's actions were aimed at encouraging "pro-Nazi authorities of Ukraine" to continue fighting "to the last Ukrainian" by allowing them to launch attacks against targets deep inside Russian territory.[33] According the Alexander Mercouris, the Russian message included this phrase, “We are no longer at peace.”[34]
On June 27, 2024 Defense Minister Andrey Belousov instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to “take prompt response measures” to the flights of American drones over the Black Sea. He noted “the increased intensity of flights of US strategic unmanned aerial vehicles over the Black Sea, which carry out reconnaissance and target designation of high-precision weapons supplied to the Armed Forces of Ukraine by Western states to strike Russian targets.” According to Belousov, “such flights greatly increase the likelihood of incidents in the airspace” with Russian aviation, “which increases the risk of direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation.”[35]
Dagestan attacks
On the same day as the Sevastopol beach attack, gunman opened fire at a synagogue and two Russian Orthodox churches in Dagestan. 15 policemen were killed in the terrorist attack. Several civilians were also killed, including an Orthodox priest who had his throat slit.[36] The synagogue was set alight with Molotov cocktails and police on duty outside and inside the building were killed. According to the Military Chronicle:[37] "Three of the 6 destroyed [killed] terrorists were identified as the son and nephews of the head of the Sergokalinsky district, [Magomed] Omarov. The group was led by his son. Omarov himself has already been arrested".
Zaporozhye radiation monitoring station
- See also: Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant
On June 26, 2024 NATO shelled a radiation monitoring station near the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, the largest such facility in Europe. The attack targeted a monitoring station in Velikaya Znamenka, a village around 15km west of the nuclear facility. The monitoring station was destroyed in the attack. The Velikaya Znamenka station is one of a group of such stations used to monitor potential radiation leaks. For some time the Zelenksy regime has been threatening the nuclear power station.
NATO Kursk offensive
- See also: 2024 NATO invasion of Kursk
The terrorist invasion of the Kursk region beginning on August 6, 2024 was commanded by the militant of the "Georgian Legion" Georgy Partsvania. It was Georgy Partsvania militants who were among the first to attack Russian border guards, Western media reported citing one of the leaders of the group from the Republic of Georgia, Vano Nadiradze. Partsvania went to fight in Ukraine in 2022. He was enlisted in Vano Nadiradze's unit and fought on the front lines for two months, including in Irpen, Kyiv region.
The Ukrainian army moved in with the best troops it still had plus some extras scrapped from the bottom of its barrel. There are three Ukrainian brigades involved plus a number of battalions that were dispatched away from their brigades involved in other parts of the front. The 80th and the 82nd paratrooper brigades are the main forces. They were partly trained in Britain and Germany and used western equipment. The 22nd mechanized brigade was the third major unit. Then there are some five to ten battalions from various other brigades. Not only was NATO equipment used in the attack on the territory of the Russian Federation, but there were also reports that the invading force was overflowing with Western mercenaries—with Polish and French languages being heard on radio communications, as well as Georgian mercenary sightings.
The operation was conducted in line with the latest developments of American military doctrine, namely the doctrine of multi-domain operations. The essence of the multi-domain operation is that the object of attack is not only the enemy's armed forces, but also the entire environment in which they operate. Multi-domain operations combine classical warfare with cyber attacks, information and psychological operations, and control in cyberspace. American fingerprints were all over the invasion.
On August 8, 2024, at the end of the first 24 hours of the invasion, the infrastructure of mobile operators in the Kursk region was subjected to the most powerful cyber attack. At this point, civilian communications were critical not only for evacuating civilians but also for interaction between military units. Since NATO had overwhelmed military communications with their EMP, and all communication was only able to go through personal devices, NATO forces also monitored troop movements through online cameras of Russian residents found on their properties. From the first hours of the invasion, the Ukrainians and NATO mercenaries used terror tactics and attacked civilians, systematically shooting cars with fleeing refugees on the roads.
The purpose of terror tactics was to force local residents to stay in their homes in order to, on the one hand make it more difficult for Russian aircraft to strike at invading units in populated areas, and on the other hand to make it easier for the NATO forces to take hostages. It is not unusual for Ukrainians to use civilians as human shields, but by the third day the NATO terror tactics changed. The Center for Information and Psychological Operations of Ukraine began to encourage a large-scale flight of the population from areas where there was no fighting. Ukrainians, pretending to be officers of the Russian Armed Forces, made calls to local residents and disinformation on social media networks grew rampant. The strikes on the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant were intended by the Ukrainians to sow chaos and panic. Thus disorganizing the situation in the rear for Russian units trying to put together a defense. The local Russian authorities warned that Ukrainian sabotage groups disguised in Russian military uniform with fake Russian documents were operating in the region.
The Russian National Antiterrorism Committee (NAC) launched the largest ever counter-terror operation in Russian history with its emergency declaration: "The Kiev regime made an unprecedented attempt to destabilize the situation in a number of regions of our country...The terrorist attack on the territory of the Kursk region by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine resulted in casualties among the civilian population and the destruction of homes and other civilian facilities...In order to ensure the safety of citizens and stop the threat of terrorist acts that could be carried out by the enemy's sabotage and reconnaissance formations, the National Antiterrorism Committee Chairman and Russian Federal Security Service Director, Alexander Bortnikov, decided to conduct counterterrorism operations in the Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk regions starting from 9 August 2024".[38] As a consequence of invoking a counter-terror operation, there is no statute of limitations for prosecution of anyone involved in terrorism, meaning anyone involved in the "incursion", including NATO planners. Alexey Dyumin, the new secretary of the State Council, was appointed the overseer of the whole military/civilian response.
The operation turned into a new meat grinder. Deputy head of the Russian Defense Ministry's Main Military-Political Directorate and Commander of the Chechen Akhmat special forces, Major General Apti Alaudinov, confirmed on Rossiya-1 TV that at least 12,000 Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) entered Kursk, including a lot of British, French and Polish fighters. The US mercenary firm Forward Observations Group's (FOG) official social media accounts posted a photo with the text: "The boys in Kursk," geotagging Kursk.[39] The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the NATO/Ukraine force suffered 3,800 casualties by the second week of the terrorist operation.
The command of the 80th separate airborne assault brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine asked to withdraw the unit to the rear due to large losses of equipment and personnel. Having received a refusal, the brigade commander could not think of anything better than to throw the brigade's "female reserve" to the front.
The results were predictable: lines of communications and supply lines were cut, the force was dispersed.
Revisions of Russian nuclear doctrine
- See also: Russia#2024 revisions
A draft policy proposal was made in September 2024 following the joint Ukraine/NATO invasion of Kursk to include an attack on Russian territory by a non-nuclear state supported with weapons and intelligence by a nuclear state which would now be considered a joint attack by both states. On November 19, 2024 President Putin signed the updated document one day after the demented and senile president of the United States, Joseph R. Biden announced his approval of using long range missile to strike deep into Russian territory. Biden had been removed from the Democratic party ticket as its presidential nominee in the 2024 presidential election by an internal coup due to mental incapacity. Key points in the new policy stated:[40]
- A critical threat to the sovereignty of the Russian Federation even with non-nuclear weapons will be the basis for a nuclear response
- Russia reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in the event of aggression against Belarus.
- The Russian Federation may consider the issue of using nuclear weapons after reliable data on a massive launch of missiles and/or drones.
- Russia has expanded the category of states and military alliances against which nuclear deterrence is carried out.
- In the updated version of the document, aggression against Russia by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear state, is proposed to be considered as a joint attack on the Russian Federation.
- Russia is obliged to take into account the emergence of new sources of military threats and risks for itself and its allies.
Battle of Ulgedar
After two and half years of fighting and four major assault attempts, the strategic highpoint of Ulgedar finally fell on October 2, 2024.[41] The commander of the 86th battalion of the 123rd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), Lieutenant Colonel Igor Grib, shot and killed himself when more than a hundred of his fighters mutinied and fled from their positions.[42]
Civilians who had spent more than one and half years in a bunker in an active war zone, hiding from the excesses of the Zelensky regime, expressed their appreciation to their Russian liberators.[43]
Located at an elevation of 614 feet, Ugledar is a strategic link between the southern and eastern fronts in the conflict and a crucial supply hub. There are no fortifications behind Ugledar. Russian troops could now sweep to the west and come up from the south and hit Kurakhovo, which is not fortified.
The strategic considers regarding the loss of Ulgedar were articulated by former presidential advisor and Kyiv regime spokesman Alexei Arestovich, who has been mentioned as a possible replacement for the embattled Zelensky:
| “ | In two to three months, well, three to four, the front, which is currently crumbling in two directions, and slowly retreating in three, will begin to crumble in six or seven. This flow will become uncontrollable. This means a collapse of the front...the Russian army will shift the war to maneuver warfare, leading to the collapse of the front as such.
When all these 700,000 with automatic weapons and artillery cannot hold the front line, the enemy will start to rapidly advance inward, cutting off Kharkov and reaching Poltava, Dnepr, and Zaporozhye. This will lead to the loss of key industrial centers of Ukraine. No drones can help reach the borders of any [previous] year if infantry soldiers do not walk this path under enemy fire... The training system has failed, there is a lack of basic motivation in the troops, but there is an understanding that the declared goal of the war – reaching the borders of 1991 – is unrealistic under these specific circumstances. Moreover, motivation is lacking due to internal politics, where every day new proposals are put forward by the powerful to limit citizens' rights: from cultural and language bans to economic restrictions. Almost every day, new corruption scandals emerge, and the chaos in the management of the army and the state intensifies. Now the only way out is to sober up, stop the war, and begin a complete reorganization of the state system." |

US missile strikes on Bryansk
On November 17, 2024, Western media reported that the Biden regime had allowed Ukraine to use ATACMS. At the same time, the NYT publication claimed that these missiles can be used to attack the military of the Russian Federation in the Kursk region. Reuters, in turn, reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine plan to carry out the first strikes in the coming days. However, Joe Biden himself and the White House staff refused to comment on this topic. There also were no details from the Pentagon.
Although there was no official confirmation of this, an information wave immediately began. According to French media, France and the United Kingdom, following the Americans, also allowed Ukraine to launch cruise missiles SCALP/Storm Shadow deep into the territories of Russia. Elon Musk, commenting on media reports about Biden's permission to hit ATACMS missiles on the territory of the Russian Federation, agreed with the opinion that "[[liberals love war", which is beneficial to "big government" and globalist Alex Soros, the son of George Soros, called the decision to allow Ukraine to launch long–range missiles on Russian territory "great news."[44]
On November 19, 2024 missile strikes using ATACMS on the Ministry of Defense facilities in Bryansk region were carried out with the assistance of American Pentagon satellites. The launch order for the HIMARS system, which was executed from the Sumy region, was provided by NATO officers.
Coordination and targeting were previously conducted by NATO AWACS aircraft, which took off from Italy, Romania, and Turkey.
At the sites where the damaged missiles fell (the rest were reportedly shot down by the Russian Ministry of Defense), parts of American-made missiles and separate components of the warhead with markings were found. All those involved in the attack on the Bryansk region were identified.
Oreshnik combat tested
The Oreshnik missile was first deployed in combat on November 21, 2024, when it struck the Yuzhmash industrial complex occupied by NATO in the city of Dnepropetrovsk. The target was a key defense site inherited by Ukraine from the USSR that produced missile equipment.
According to available information, the first responders found something unusual about the bombing site. Besides the ruins, rubble, and debris everywhere, what leaked from Ukrainian internal communications was that they observed something described as "small volcanoes filled with glowing material." Ukrainian SBU immediately cordoned off the whole area, and access was allowed only to those approved by the authorities. This apparently was to prevent the Russians from damage assessment.
Some sources suggest there were six mini volcanoes with glowing material inside. If there were six areas described as "mini volcanoes" but 36 warhead strikes, the logical question is how could 36 hits cause only six mini volcanos? The explanation may be that six small warheads delivered from one carrier hit the designated area in a pattern that provided a “mutual destruction engagement zone,” meaning that they hit relatively close to each other in a pattern so that the penetration and the shock waves interreacted with each other, thus multiplying the effect and affecting a much wider area.
If the missile bus carried just six large warheads without submunitions, they may be dispersed some distance from each other so that the penetration into the ground might be deeper, but the overall width of the targeted area may be smaller compared to an equivalent dispersion of smaller submunitions.
The glowing material the first responders reported may be some kind of molten natural material in the form of magma (underground molten rock) or lava (molten rock above ground). It would be correct to say that they likely saw something that reminded them of lava. It is unknown what ammunition can create this effect.
It is definitely not nuclear but rather kinetic, and many experts agree — kinetic warheads made of a dense and very high-temperature resistant material. The next question is whether the projectile is purely inert (kinetic) or if some active component has been incorporated. Based on available information in the scientific domain, there are some merits to the argument that there may also be a unique explosive present, adding to the kinetic effect.
A Russian source said that the surface temperature of the warhead is 4000 C, and to withstand this temperature, a special alloy or ceramic material was developed. The composition is top secret. It is known that Tantalum-Hafnium carbide or Hafnium carbonitride has a melting point of about 4000 C, but these materials are used just representative of the possibilities. Other components may be present if the warhead does not melt at 4000 C. Density is another unknown and can be easily higher than 16 g/cc. Depleted uranium would be the densest material available but it was definitely not used in Oreshnik.[45] It may also be some alloy based on Wolfram (Tungsten) Vanadium base.[46]
Adding tungsten creates energetic structural materials (EMS)[47] with high strength. This material has high stability under normal conditions and the ability to maintain structural integrity under detonation loading. What is of particular interest is that when the ESMs interact with a target object, which in Dnipro was an underground structure, chemical reactions occur between different components of the ESMs and surrounding materials, resulting in combustion or explosion reactions.
The projectile approaching with high velocity (10+ Mach) and high surface temperature creates a shockwave and interacts with the surrounding material such as dirt, soil moisture, rocks, or concrete. A chemical process forms that creates detonation. So, besides the kinetic impact, a warhead of a specific composition will also induce an explosion, multiplying the effect of the kinetic penetration. High temperature combined with a shock wave accelerates systems that contain a large quantity of micrometric or nanometric metals and metal compound particles, so detonation creates an immense temperature that can melt surrounding material to some distance.
The impact at Yuzhmash may be described as extreme pressure generated underground, creating a microearthquake that damaged foundations, buildings, and underground structures. After the underground overpressure subsides and the shockwave reaches the surface, everything above the impact points may collapse into the cavity below, which is filled with molten material. This collapse of the solid materials pushes the molten material up. This material will eventually solidify. This explains what may have happened beneath Yuzhmash and what the first responders saw as a “mini volcano.”
