→Combat testing and damage assessment
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.
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 [[warhead]]s 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.<ref>High density is necessary for deep penetration, and [[depleted uranium]] is among the most dense materials. However, its use would leave residual [[radiation]], so this idea is excluded from consideration.</ref>
