Quote: "23 units of 122 mm artillery shells and 2 anti-tank grenades were retrieved from the site of hostilities on 259 Tsentralyy Avenue near the Delicatess shopping mall.

They were destroyed at a specially designated location."

Details: Rescue personnel of Mykolaiv region urged the local population to remain in shelters, if possible. If civilians need to go outside, they are advised to be vigilant, look around carefully, and avoid approching/ touching any "gifts from the enemy".

All suspicious or explosive objects should be reported immediately by calling 101 or 102, indicating the coordinates and location of the detected objects. That will be very helpful to pyrotechnicians.
