Kherson has introduced a heightened danger regime on one of the city's key sections. Residents of the region have been warned about the presence of explosive devices on Berislav Highway. The military administration strongly recommends that citizens refrain from moving through this area and exercise maximum caution.
New Wave of Mining
Information about the threat was confirmed by the Head of the Kherson City Military Administration, Yaroslav Shanko. In his statement, he noted that data is coming in about another large-scale mining of the city's territory by Russian troops. The situation requires an immediate response and vigilance from the population.
Specialists have already conducted a preliminary assessment of the situation. Explosive devices were found on Berislav Highway, but the exact boundaries of the contaminated zone have not yet been established. Shanko emphasized that the mining area could be significantly larger than it appears at first glance.
What to do if you find suspicious objects
In conditions of constant threat, it is important for every resident to know the algorithm of actions when finding suspicious objects. Experts recommend:
- Do not approach the object and do not try to touch it.
- Immediately leave the danger zone.
- Report the find to law enforcement agencies or the rescue service.
- Warn others about the danger.
Enemy Tactics
Explosive devices are regularly found on the streets of Kherson. The Russian Federation uses mass mining as a tool of pressure on the civilian population. Explosives are often scattered using unmanned aerial vehicles, making the threat difficult to predict.
Anti-personnel "butterfly" mines pose a particular danger. They can hide among trash, grass, or at intersections, remaining invisible to pedestrians. The target of such actions is specifically civilians, which makes the situation extremely dangerous for everyday life in the city.
Importance of Shelters and Safety Rules
Previously, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine talked about the reliability of shelters and the effectiveness of the so-called "two-wall rule". Recommendations were also given on what to do if a person ends up under rubble after an explosion or collapse.
In addition, specialists explained the procedure for action during mass explosions, collapses, or attacks on civilian infrastructure. It is important to know what must absolutely not be done in such situations so as not to worsen the situation.
Special attention was paid to the rules of behavior during air raid alerts — both at home and on the street or in transport. Knowing these rules can save a life at a critical moment.
