→Combat testing and damage assessment
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>
