Nukes (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zaps

'nukes' is the definition.
('zap' can be a synonym of 'nuke')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for zaps that I've seen before include "hits" , "Strikes with a laser beam" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
