24th May 2018
On May 24, at 09:00, a message was received from the Directorate of the SES of Ukraine in Chernihiv Oblast that a metal object outwardly similar to explosive was found in the regional center in the territory of the auto-cooperative No. 27. Upon call to the scene, experts from a group of pyrotechnic works and underwater demining of a special-purpose detachment of the regional U SES arrived, who identified a dangerous find as an artillery projectile with a caliber of 76 mm during the war. SES pyrotechnics surveyed the area near the location of the dangerous finding and did not find any other ammunition. After carrying out the necessary work, the artillery unit was taken to a designated place by a special vehicle and destroyed at 12:30. Rescuers of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine once again remind citizens that only specialists should deal with the destruction of explosive objects. In no case can they be touched, moved to another location, disassembled or struck. If explosive or suspicious objects are found, call the fire department or police immediately.
