Made-in-the-USA State Terror Against Novaya Kakhovka

Pre-dawn Tuesday, a Biden regime orchestrated/Kiev implemented terrorist attack occurred on warehouses with fertilizers in the Kherson Region’s city of Novaya Kakhovka — the area liberated by Russian forces. 

The incident damaged or destroyed nearby industrial and residential buildings, along with a hospital and targeted facilities.

A factory for producing hydroelectric equipment was also badly damaged beyond repair.

Its remains will have to be taken down, the facility rebuilt, Leontyev explained, adding:

Kiev’s “terrorist act against the civilian population (is a crime) that will make its way into the history books” because of large numbers of casualties, as well as extensive destruction and damage it caused.

At least 7 civilians were killed, nearly 200 others injured, the human toll likely to rise as more bodies are found beneath rubble.

Around 270 area civilians are now homeless.

One of more of the warehouses struck stored saltpeter.

When stored in large enough amounts, it can have dangerously explosive properties.

According to Professor Jacqueline Akhavan, an explosive chemistry expert, saltpeter when ignited or detonated can cause “a supersonic shock (when) traveling through the atmosphere.”

“The blast wave would contain pressures of GPa (Giga Pascals) and temperatures over 3,000C.”  

“The blast wave can travel great distances, causing damage to buildings, cars, and people etc.”

“If you are close to the blast wave, it would lift you off the ground and throw you in the direction of the blast wave.”

“The pressures would cause damage to the ear drums, lungs, organs, and result in broken bones.”  

“The high temperatures would result in burns to the skin and lungs.”

Professor of Energy Engineering Geoffrey Maitland explained the following:

“In itself, (saltpeter) is quite innocuous, being non-poisonous like sodium chloride and when stored properly (in water-tight containers) is relatively stable.”  

“Its main applications are as a fertilizer and as a component in explosives used, for instance, in mining.”

“If it comes into contact with an intense source of heat and ignition, such as a detonator or an intense fire for some time, and is present as a large bulk mass (e.g. confined within containers or sacks, which may themselves be flammable) and in a confined space, such as a warehouse, then it can explode” and cause widespread damage.

Around 2,700 tons stored at the Port of Beirut in 2020 exploded, causing billions of dollars in property damage, killing over 200 people, injuring thousands more — leaving around 300,000 city residents homeless.

Other major incidents involving detonation of saltpeter included the following:

Oppau, Germany in 1921 – leaving 400 dead, 2,000 injured and 700 homes destroyed.

Texas City, TX in 1947 – causing 600 deaths, 5,000 injuries and 500 homes destroyed.

Toulouse, France in 2001 resulted in 30 deaths, 2,000 injuries and 500 homes damaged.

West, Texas in 2013 – causing 14 deaths, 200 injuries and 150 homes damaged.

Tianjin, China in 2015 – leaving 163 dead, 798 others injured.

Novaya Kakhovka is the latest city to be greatly impacted by detonated saltpeter.

According to its administrator, Vladimir Leontyev, a HIMARS multiple rocket launcher supplied to Kiev Nazis by the Biden regime carried out the attack to cause maximum numbers of civilian casualties and damage to nonmilitary related facilities.

Russian media reported that around 35 tons of humanitarian aid were also destroyed by the terrorist attack.

As ordered by hegemon USA, the puppet Zelensky regime falsely claimed that a Russian munitions depot was targeted — a bald-faced Big Lie.

What is Russia waiting for?

Why haven’t its forces eliminated Ukraine’s command and control HQ in Kiev.

No matter that it’s surely infested with US/NATO military and perhaps other personnel.

What more incentive does Moscow need to strike and eliminate everything involved by Kiev in attacking civilians and nonmilitary targets in Donbass and areas of Ukrainian territory controlled by Russian forces.

The longer its Defense Ministry holds back, the more likely that there’ll be more incidents similar to what happened in Novaya Kakhovka.

Toughness is the only language that US-dominated NATO understands.

Because of devastation to Novaya Kakhovka, along with daily Kiev strikes on Donbass residential areas, it’s long past time for Russia to deliver a clear message that its gloves are off.  

That its forces will do whatever it takes to slay the made-in-the USA, Nazi infested, Ukraine monster — first and foremost by eliminating the regime’s command and control HQ in Kiev.
