    It could be a car park anywhere in the West. Except for the unexploded ordinance sticking into the side of a resident's BMW SUV. "BMW SUV impaled by a Smerch MLRS rocket booster in Kharkiv. https://t.me/truexanewsua/30678" Bob Lee tweeted this photo and caption. Well hopefully the owner is insured for this.

While just a few years ago this word may have come across as dramatic and histrionic, due to the influx of research on the subject it now is commonly understood as a phenomenon that every individual has endured on some level.
