Rivne explosive experts are clearing Kharkiv region of mines For several days now, police officers as part of a consolidated detachment have been clearing de-occupied settlements of Kharkiv region. This was reported by the communication department of the Rivne regional police. The region is strewn with shells. Almost everything is mined: roads, trees and buildings. We find explosive objects by the thousands, - says Oleksandr Mamchur, the chief explosive technician of Rivne, - There is a terrible desolation everywhere: in the village, which had more than a thousand people, only three people remained Stabilization measures are primarily carried out at critical infrastructure facilities. The new ammunition, which the racists left behind in a hurry to escape, is being transferred for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
