Another explosive object was destroyed by the pyrotechnics of Transcarpathia

On March 17, at 12:45, rescuers of Transcarpathia received a report that a suspicious object looking like an explosive had been found outside the village of Tisaashvan, Uzhgorod district. The suspicious item was found by a local resident while harvesting firewood. Specialists of the pyrotechnic group of the special purpose emergency and rescue detachment identified it as a mortar shell of 82 mm caliber. It was removed and destroyed in a specially designated place.

Transcarpathian rescuers once again urge citizens to be careful and cautious, because at any time a person can come across the echoes of war. If this occurs, do not touch suspicious metallic object ormove it to another location. It is strictly forbidden to try to defuse the explosive yourselves. Instead, mark the location and inform the authorities, local government, police or call the emergency service 101.
