Rescuers named the number of people killed by Russian mines in Ukraine.
303 people have already died from explosive devices in Ukraine
Since the beginning of the war with Russia, 303 people have died from explosive devices in Ukraine, including 15 children. This statistic was announced by the deputy director of the Department of Mine Action Measures of the State Emergency Service, Serhiy Reva.
According to him, 703 people were injured, and 303 people died from explosive devices. The dispatcher of the National Mine Action Authority describes this information. Among the dead are 15 children.
To prevent injuries and deaths from explosive devices, the State Emergency Service conducts briefings and information campaigns among the population. They maximally raise people's awareness of mine danger.
According to Serhiy Reva, more than 42,000 events have already been held, covering about 1.5 million people. There are also mobile safety classes, the number of which currently stands at 15.
Kharkiv region, Donetsk region, Kherson region, and to a lesser extent, Mykolaiv region, are the most contaminated areas with explosive devices. In the Mykolaiv region, rescuers actively clear agricultural lands and critical infrastructure as needed.
According to Reva, this work is ongoing and will continue until the last explosive device is defused by rescuers.
It should also be noted that the information about the mining of the banks of the Tisza, which is spreading on social networks, is not true. This was reported by the spokesman of the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko.
