    A large explosion is occurring on what appears to be a military training range or open field, sending a plume of brown dirt, debris, and dark smoke high into the air. The detonation is taking place near a dirt road intersection in a flat, sandy area surrounded by pine trees. The scene is consistent with a controlled demolition or explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) training exercise.
