Original Note:
Video is unrelated to claims of directed-energy weapons (DEWs). The video is from May 2023 and shows the explosion of an electrical transformer in Chile. The supposed "laser beam" is simply a lens flare. https://observers.france24.com/en/americas/20230817-watch-out-for-these-images-fuelling-a-conspiracy-theory-about-the-hawaii-fires https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuqA8bEhYZQ
