Sabotage must not be ruled out in the investigation of the explosion at the Accurate Energetic Systems plant near Nashville yesterday.

Eighteen people were missing and feared dead following an explosion at a munitions factory in rural Tennessee on Friday that obliterated the building and was felt for miles around, reported Reuters.

The explosion at Accurate Energetic Systems about 60 miles (100 km) west of Nashville caused multiple fatalities but officials had yet to determine a death toll as of late Friday night.

Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis told a press conference the scene was "one of the most devastating situations that I’ve been on in my career,” and that it would take time to determine the cause.

"There's not going to be a short explanation for that," Davis said, adding that investigators from the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) were at the scene.

CDM has for years catalogued possible sabotage operations inside the homeland either by foreign power infiltration, or fifth column elements inside our government.

Railways, chemical plants, food production, transportation networks and industry have been targeted in our view.

We even started a show - Sabotage SitRep - to describe these events and raise awareness.

The explosion at the ammunition plant in Tennessee is especially concerning as it impacts U.S. production of artillery rounds.

We have long prescribed that the Ukraine war is primarily about weakening the American military capability and weapons stores, and many treasonous American officers are involved.

If we are no longer committing military suicide and taking out our weapons capability in Ukraine, then our production must be destroyed here in-country.
