Rescuers urge citizens to be careful in case of detection of suspicious objects and explain the danger they pose to their children!
An accident happened on January 3 in the Donetsk region. The rescue service "101" received a message about an accident that occurred in the village of Blahodatne of Velykonovoselkivsky district. A teenager, born in 2004, tried to cut an explosive object, which resulted in an explosion. The injured was hospitalized in the surgical department in a state of moderate severity.
Therefore, in order to prevent accidents among the population in case of detection of explosives, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine once again reminds that it is strictly prohibited to:
touch or move a suspicious object;
fill it with liquids, cover it with soil or cover it with something;
exert sound, light, heat or mechanical influence on a suspicious object, because almost all explosives are sensitive to mechanical, sound influences and heat;
try to neutralize the piece of munition oneself.
Remember, in case of detection of explosive objects, you must immediately notify the number "101" or "102" and in any case do not try to identify the found ammunition!
