Quote: "In the Synelnykivskyi district, a 12-year-old boy found ammunition from a cluster projectile and brought it home. The explosive detonated ...

This is already the sixth death in the region caused by such ammunition …

I ask you! I plead with you! Please do not touch the explosives left behind after enemy attacks."

Details: If suspicious objects are found, emergency services or the police must be called.

Cluster munitions are insidious. The peculiarity of this explosive is that it remains dangerous and can detonate for some time after the shelling.
