In Kharkiv region, a man blew up on an anti-personnel mine: how to behave in case of detection of VND
51-year-old resident of Borshchova village of Kharkiv district stepped on the anti-infantry mine “petalyustka”. The man was hospitalized with injuries to the hospital.
During the last day, the pyrotechnic units of the State Emergency Service seized and defused three explosive objects. In total, since the beginning of the full-scale military invasion of the Russian Federation on the territory of Ukraine, 423 thousand 216 explosive objects and two thousand 892 kilograms have been neutralized grams of explosive.
Including 3 thousand 82 aerial bombs. Rescuers ask citizens to be as careful
as possible and always keep in mind the high mine hazard. This is especially true for residents of de-occupied territories.
In addition, in order to distinguish explosive devices from all others, it is worth remembering their characteristic features:
- objects are unfamiliar or unusual for this situation or territory; - the presence of sounds coming from the object (ticking of a clock, signals after a certain period of time), flashing of the indicator light; - the presence of power sources on the mechanism or next to it (batteries, accumulators, etc.);
-
the presence of stretching wires, or wires stretching from the mechanism for a long distance;
- the object can be hung on a tree or left on a bench.
It is strictly forbidden: - to touch the object and move it; - to use radio communications, mobile phones (they can provoke an explosion);
- to fill it with liquids, sprinkle with soil or cover it with something;
- touch a suspicious device and carry out sound, light, thermal or
mechanical impact, because almost all explosives are poisonous and sensitive to mechanical, sound effects and heat.
In case of detection of a suspicious object, report the finding by number “101" or “102".
