Multiple Dead After Mysterious Explosion at Russian Ammunition Plant

Amid the country's ongoing military conflict in Ukraine, an ammunition plant near the Ural Mountains in Russia suffered a massive explosion which resulted in fatalities

The FKP Perm Powder Plant, which produces gunpowder and is located in the city of Perm, reportedly endured an explosion at approximately 8 p.m. local time, according to local authorities. The resulting fire eventually killed two workers and injured others. The incident has so far been pinned on "a product" that "caught fire."

"According to the information received, on 05/01/2022, at about 20:00, a product caught fire at the production site N 12 of the Plastmassa production facility at the Perm Powder Plant FKP," the Russian State Labor Inspectorate for the Perm Territory said in a statement. "As a result of the incident, 3 employees were injured, 1 of them died on the spot, 2 were taken to the hospital. Subsequently, another 1 worker died in the hospital."

I think directed energy weapons are being used. I have zero evidence.

Food processing plants in America catching fire.
Russian Military chemical and ammunition plants catching fire.
Wild fires in Russia.

Unless you capture the beam signature in a satellite image, there would be little evidence, just a fire.

“Multiple Dead After Mysterious Explosion at Russian Ammunition Plant”

“Mysterious”?

Just as “Mysterious” as explosions at fireworks factories.

Were they also processing American food at this plant?

Thanks to communist policies of spreading people around, there are many Ukrainians in Russia.
It could be one, or some other oppressed person in Russia.
Or just an accident.
Ukraine does not have missiles with that long a reach.

The Ukies have satellites in orbit that can shoot Flash Gordon style space beams down on Russkie installations. And blow them to Kingdom Come.

The Ukies might renting these beam satellites from the Chinese, or they own them and had Elon Musk send them into orbit. They come with 10 acre photovoltaic sails. They feed the capacitor on board that takes 3 days to charge up for space beam operation.

No modern military weapon uses gunpowder (to the best of my knowledge) so if that was all that this plant produced, then it was unlikely to be counter-action. If, on the other hand, it was sloppy reporting, then it becomes a possibility.

Modern weapons use what is generically called cordite which is a nitrocellulose-based (guncotton derivative) that was originally known as ‘smokeless powder’ for the amazing difference to original gunpowder. With the exception of period weapons and idiot LEFTists, gunpowder was generally phased out of weapon use in the late 1800s.

During war, safety issues are less strict.

Pushing for maximum production can result in accidents.

Gunpowder is commonly used to refer to smokeless powder as well as black powder for a hundred years.
