This was an X-Class flare

 

SIGNIFICANT FARSIDE EXPLOSION (UPDATED):A significant explosion has occured on the farside of the sun. During the early hours of Jan. 12th a huge plume of hot plasma leaped over the sun's northeastern limb. Soon after, a full halo CME emerged from the same location. This was probably an X-class event eclipsed by the edge of the sun. The blast site will turn to face Earth later this week, possibly during the weekend.

The Classification of X-ray Solar Flares or "Solar Flare Alphabet Soup"

 

A solar flare is an explosion on the Sun that happens when energy stored in twisted magnetic fields (usually above sunspots) is suddenly released. Flares produce a burst of radiation across the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to x-rays and gamma-rays. [more information]

 

Scientists classify solar flares according to their x-ray brightness in the wavelength range 1 to 8 Angstroms. There are 3 categories: X-class flares are big; they are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. M-class flares are medium-sized; they can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth's polar regions. Minor radiation storms sometimes follow an M-class flare. Compared to X- and M-class events, C-class flares are small with few noticeable consequences here on Earth. – https://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/flareclasses.html
