This year, about 100 explosive objects from the Great Patriotic War were found and removed from the ground in the Novgorod Region. Among the finds: high-explosive aerial bombs, mortar mines and artillery shells of various calibers, hand grenades, anti-tank mines.
The sappers of the demining group of the Novgorod Region Population Protection Department recommend that everyone know the first rule of conduct when discovering explosive objects: - immediately report the dangerous find by calling "112" or the police - "102".
The following 3 rules:
- When carrying out excavation or other work, stop work;
- It is good to remember the location where the object was found;
- Install warning signs or use various available materials - poles, stakes, ropes, pieces of cloth, stones, soil, etc.
If explosive objects are discovered, it is strictly forbidden to take any action with them.
