Chaos damage bypassing CI?

Hello everyone!

I'm running a CI build and I was curious about those purple balls, aren't they supposed to hit only chaos damage? If so, why sometimes when they explode they hit me for 3-4k througgh CI?

And no, it's not something else, I'm always staying in a corner annihilating all that spawns and leaving only the orbs to come to me as they (in theory) shouldn't do any damage at all.

Does anyone have any idea if they are always 100% chaos or perhaps sometimes they get mixed with something due to affixes? The map I ran (where I took damage from them) is:

Perhaps extra fire damage mod works on them?
Are they hitting your shield? If so they’re not chaos damage. As to what type they are, fire damage indeed seems the most likely culprit; extra damage should be calculated before resistances right?
