Nice of them to give us a heads-up. On Saturday, the Afghan Army on just the other side of our Hesco wall did a controlled detonation of a piece of UXO, unexploded ordinance. It was close enough I could feel it. We all ran for shelters but got the all-clear within 5 minutes. Nice drill.
The following day, I just happened to check my local Army email and saw an advisory that the ANA was doing artillery practice Sunday afternoon and to ignore any explosions. It went on all afternoon and some guys could see the smoke about 2 klicks away from our watchtower. Sometimes 3 in rapid succession. Some were powerful enough to cause the walls to shake a bit. Should scare away the bad guys (and small animals) for a while.
