Powerful Explosions Set for May 8 at Quarry in Bila Tserkva Region

Planned Blasting Operations at the Olshanytsia Deposit

According to Главком: On May 8, 2026, the Bila Tserkva district will see scheduled blasting activities at the Olshanytsia granite deposit, operated by KSL LLC. These operations will run from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM within the Rokyta settlement territorial community. During the work, specific sound signals will be used: one blast for warning, two for the main detonation, and three to mark the conclusion.

The Bila Tserkva District Military Administration has confirmed that these explosions are a standard part of the deposit's technological process. Residents in the area should be aware of potential siren and blast noises accompanying the operations, helping to prevent unnecessary alarm.

Other Quarries in the District

Beyond the Olshanytsia site, the Bila Tserkva region hosts additional quarries, including:

• Shamraivka Quarry
• Rokyta Special Quarry

Previous blasting took place at the Rokyta granite quarry on December 15, and at the Shamraivka granite deposit on January 28 and February 27. These activities are vital for meeting production demands in the local granite mining industry.

The scheduled blasts at the Olshanytsia deposit are part of a routine granite extraction process that plays a key role in the region's industrial sector.

Providing timely information to district residents helps avoid panic and ensures safety during these operations. Drawing on past experiences with explosions at other quarries, the Bila Tserkva district demonstrates a systematic approach to organizing such events.
