Siberia was struck by a massive explosion on June 30, 1908, known as the Tunguska event. This event is believed to have been caused by the airburst of a small comet or asteroid over the remote region, which flattened approximately 2,000 square kilometers of forest. Although there were no confirmed human casualties due to the sparsely populated area, the explosion released energy equivalent to about 10-15 megatons of TNT. The event remains one of the largest impact-related incidents in recorded history.
