This is the first outbreak of this class since the beginning of February, the Institute of Applied Geophysics (FSBI "IPG") told TASS.

"On March 30, at 06:19 Moscow time, an X1.5 flash lasting 49 minutes was registered in the X-ray range in the 4405 (S25E45) spot group," the report says.

The last time an outbreak of this class was recorded was on February 4 (X4.2) in active region 4366, which eventually broke the record of the 21st century for the number of class M and X solar flares. tass.ru.
