It was not surprising to the command center to find human DNA in a ruin of this size, but it was a little strange to find the artillery shell from a close-defense missile in a place like this. The discovery of the artillery shell meant that this place had been attacked by close-defense missiles.
Judging from the range of the close-defense missiles which was less than four kilometers, even if the close-defense missiles were not inside the copper mine, it had to be not far from the copper mine when it fired.
It was incomprehensible, regardless of whether the people in the copper mine used close-defense missiles to attack others, or whether people outside used the close-defense missiles to attack the copper mine.
One of the adjutants then asked, “Could the copper mine have suffered a terrorist attack?!”
This idea gained the approval of most people when it was raised. Over the recent years, terrorist attacks in the Middle East had never ceased. Those extremists had also caused a commotion every now and then, so could it be that they had targeted Cyprus this time?
However, the on-site commander had a different thought. He could not help but say, “I’ve consulted the experts. This kind of close-defense missile produced by the former Soviet Union has an empty weight of nearly two tons. If it is equipped with ammunition as well as the whole set of fire control systems, it would weigh at least three to four tons. Have any of you ever seen a terrorist who would go to such great lengths? Besides, even though the close-defense missile is very powerful, its caliber is only thirty millimeters after all. If it’s used to hit a building, hundreds or even thousands of artillery shells may not even be able to collapse a building, but this place has been blown up to this state now, so a lot of large explosives must have been used internally for the blasting. Since terrorists could blow the entire copper mine into rubble, why would they bother to get close-defense missiles in the first place?
“Well…” Everyone at the scene immediately fell into deep thought.
What the commander had said made sense. Although the close-defense missiles were very powerful, it was still a mediocre weapon compared to blowing up the entire copper mine. There was no need for terrorists to carry a weapon that was two to four tons over just to cause trouble.
Everyone suddenly encountered a dead end.
