• On 4 August 1972, during the Vietnam war, a single geomagnetic storm detonated dozens of sea mines south of Hai Phong, North Vietnam. This was due to the magnetic field fluctuations caused by the storm to which the mines were senitive. Later it was shown that in total, more than 4000 mines exploded. https://doi.org/10.1029/2018SW002024 2 comments 3/2/2022 science
