Sundering with a Kinetic Blast

[Aristophanes]

Can a physical kinetic blast be used to sunder objects? I was thinking specifically of doors, walls, statues, traps, etc.
My Earth kineticist recently acquired the "Rare Metal" infusion, and since I can make adamantine blasts, I thought maybe it could be useful.

I would say no because Sunder is a melee action, now if you have a melee blast or a way to sunder with ranged attacks sure.

To expand on it, Kinetic blade and Kinetic Whip infusions would allow you to do so as you're making actual melee attacks.

That makes sense. In world explanation may be that a blast's kinetic energy isn't concentrated enough to damage a specific spot, but the blade or whip could target the right spot. Thanks.

You can't sunder, but you can attack an object. Sunder is just about attacking attended objects in combat. You can blast at a door, no issue.
