An enemy mine lay on a dirt road in the Mykolaiv region

Local residents discovered an enemy mine on the roadway of a dirt track near Snihurivka in Mykolaiv Oblast. They spotted the munition near a field and reported the find to law enforcement.

Experts from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit of the regional police headquarters arrived to inspect the dangerous object. The inspection showed that the mine posed a serious threat and that transporting it was strictly prohibited.
