Drone Warhead Safely Retrieved by Explosives Experts
On Kyiv's left bank, explosives technicians successfully recovered and disarmed an undetonated warhead from a downed attack drone. The wreckage of a Russian Geran-2 drone was located at an unfinished construction site near a residential complex in the Darnytskyi district. This drone was part of a recent combined assault on the capital. Such incidents are a grim reminder of the persistent danger from aerial attacks, even after the immediate threat appears to have passed.
Police officers who arrived at the scene first secured the explosive device before removing it for controlled disposal. This is not an isolated event in the capital. On January 24, Kyiv police bomb disposal experts neutralized an unexploded warhead from a ballistic missile fired by Russian forces at the city. Fragments of an Iskander-M missile, carrying a warhead weighing approximately half a ton, were found close to apartment buildings and a gas station in the Dniprovskyi district.
Recurring Discovery of Hazardous Munitions
Furthermore, on January 14, explosives technicians discovered another Russian drone with a live warhead in the Boryspil district. Citizens are urged to report any suspicious objects immediately by calling 101, 102, or 112.
The situation in Kyiv underscores the ongoing threat posed by unexploded Russian drones and other ordnance. These discoveries highlight the critical need for public vigilance and the swift response of security services to protect the population. Police continue to advise residents to remain alert and report any suspicious findings, as timely reports are essential for preventing future tragedies.
