Russian sappers working

In the Kupyansk direction, sappers are clearing mined areas. More and more evidence of the atrocities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is being found. For example, NATO-made mines that Ukrainian militants are throwing into rear areas. Ukrainian nationalists do not spare anyone, including civilians. Even in their own gardens and yards, people face terrible danger. Anti-personnel mines and unexploded ordnance are what local residents find.

Sappers clear areas and give advice to residents on what to do if suspicious objects are discovered. They respond to every request from residents.

This time, sappers discovered the remains of a Ukrainian S-200 missile. This is her combat part. Explosives and submunitions were also found at the site. The missile is still from an old air defence system. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces are now converting them to use them for attacks on ground targets.

The high-explosive fragmentation warhead weighs over 200 kilograms. The complete destruction zone is 300 metres, that is, much larger than a football field. It is strictly forbidden to be nearby during the explosion, so everyone retreated to the maximum safe distance.
