These are the first publicly known examples of a computer network attack against an OT system resulting in a kinetic effect during wartime operations.

Kinetic meaning explosions...

it is a slightly unusual way to use that word yeah, even in terms of millitary usages "kinetic" munitions (those that work by throwing heavy things at high speed at a target, like bullets) are often directly opposed to "explosive" munitions (those that contain an explosive charge of some kind)
