So that loud noise yesterday morning was the sound of about 500 kilograms of high explosives from a North Korean KN-23 ballistic missile detonating outside of Kyiv. A friend of mine from Vrozel said the walls of his house shook from the blast The missile resembles Russia’s Iskander-M and flies in a quasi-ballistic trajectory. Its range is about 450 kilometers. We posted a video of the crater yesterday.

Those wondering why mother Russia would target Ukraine’s capital with such a powerful, deadly weapon have either already lost the thread or are thinking of voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the 2024 US presidential election. Only one week remains before we mark the tenth anniversary of the start of the war.
