Residents of Mykolaiv region urged not to go to the beaches — reasons.

Residents of Mykolaiv region have been urged to avoid the coastal area and not to go on water on boats due to the threat of shelling from the Russian Federation, as reported by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Threat of shelling

The military situation in the region remains tense as the enemy increasingly attacks the civilian population and infrastructure of Mykolaiv region. Consequently, the presence of people near the coastline becomes dangerous, also considering the threat of mines. To avoid risk, residents were urged to:

• not gather in the coastal area and on beaches;
• not visit unsecured sections of the coastline;
• refrain from going into the water on any vessels;
• not ignore warning signs and barriers.

'We ask you to pay special attention to avoid spreading information on social networks or media about the locations of people in coastal areas, as this might be used by the enemy for attacks',

Recall that recently the region was affected by fires at military depots, and this area was noted among the leaders for the amount of hazardous waste.
