This study investigates a Type II solar X-ray (SXR) burst characterized by a shock driven by solar ejecta. Observations reveal fast SXR plasmoids and loops moving at speeds of 700 km/s. The analysis demonstrates that the Type II shock initially driven by the ejecta transitions into a blast wave with unique refraction and non-radial propagation characteristics. Notably, there is minimal influence from the shock on the acceleration of high-energy HXR-emitting electrons. This research integrates data from OSRA Tremsdorf, Yohkoh, and NRH observations.
