I grip the controls of our inflatable raft as we race through the narrow canyon, the water churning beneath us. Explosions erupt on both sides, sending flames and shrapnel into the air. My teammate lies prone beside me, returning fire while I steer us through the chaos. The target is just 44 meters ahead, but every second feels like a lifetime—one wrong move, and we’ll be swallowed by the fire and the rocks closing in around us. This isn’t just a mission; it’s a fight to survive the river of fire.
