Russians Mine Bridge Over Kosheva River in Kherson

A new case of landmining has been reported in Kherson, raising serious concerns among local residents. The Kherson Regional Police disclosed this information on their official Facebook page.

According to the report, anti-personnel mines of the type known as "Prjanik" (also referred to as "Plyushka") were discovered on the automobile bridge over the Kosheva River. These mines, designed to incapacitate enemy personnel, pose a significant threat to anyone who may be in the vicinity.

The Kherson Regional Police have urged local residents to avoid moving in the area where the mining has been detected and warned that the territory where mines may be laid could be much larger than currently known. This warning is crucial for ensuring the safety of residents, as mines may not only be located on the bridge but also in surrounding areas.

This situation has raised concerns not only in Kherson but also in other regions of Ukraine. For instance, residents of the Novhorod-Siverskyi district in the Chernihiv region were recently alerted to dangers associated with remote mining attempts carried out by Russian military forces. This indicates that the threat of mining is spreading over large territories, and local residents must exercise heightened caution.

The mines used in the conflict can remain dangerous even after hostilities have ceased. They can be planted in various locations, and detecting them is a complex task. Therefore, it is vital for local residents to follow law enforcement recommendations and not to disregard warnings about potential dangers.

The Kherson Regional Police continue to monitor the situation and are working on identifying all possible threats to the population. They urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious findings that may indicate the presence of explosive devices.

During this challenging time for Ukraine, it is important for all citizens to unite in their efforts to ensure each other's safety. Remember, your caution can save lives.
