Wondering what those explosions were Tuesday?

Airmen from the Kansas Air National Guard were doing explosive ordnance training at the Smoky Hill Air National Guard Range southwest of Salina, according to information from Jane Welch, director of public affairs for the Kansas Adjutant General's Department.

"Normally when they do the training they don’t actually explode the ordnance. This time they did. That is why people were hearing the explosions," Welch told Salina Post.
