Minister of Internal Affairs Ihor Klymenko reported that 289 people, including 15 children, died as a result of detonation of explosive devices.
Klymenko noted that de-occupied territories and areas close to the front line are the most dangerous zones.
‘These are farmers who try to cultivate fields without waiting for official permission from the authorities, and those who simply ignore all prohibitions and go to dangerous areas to pick mushrooms, for example, or just take a walk,’ the minister explained.
He added that the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with UNICEF launched safety classes for children.
The internal ministry and State Emergency Service of Ukraine call on the population not to touch any unknown objects and to immediately inform the authorities.

Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline.

The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
