Pyrotechnic units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine carry out daily work to survey the territory of the country, identify, seize and destroy explosive objects from past wars. Most often, citizens find such dangerous finds during recreation in the forests, during economic work on the territory of their own households. And in the summer, the number of discovered munitions in water bodies also increases.

Explosive objects were found in the field during earthworks near the city. Starokostyantyniv and in the village. The stumps of the Starokostiantyniv city community.

In the Sumy region last week, work was carried out on the neutralization of twenty-seven 50-mm mortar mines, two 76-mm mortars and two 45-mm artillery shells. Ammunition was previously discovered in the s. Perekopovka, in the Romeni region. Dangerous items were taken to a designated place and destroyed by detonation.
In addition, work is underway on the demining of liberated territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions. Thus, on June 28, units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in the territory of Donetsk region, where the PLO is conducted, surveyed 1.39 hectares of territory and identified and removed 38 VNPs.
In total, since the beginning of the year, the pyrotechnic units of the SNS have seized and destroyed 31 thousand 588 explosive objects, including 206 aircraft bombs.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents among the population in case of detection of explosive objects, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine once again appeals to citizens with a request to observe the rules of safe handling of explosive or unknown objects!
It is strictly forbidden:
touch a suspicious object or move it;
fill it with liquids, cover it with soil or cover it with something;
