According to ДСНС: The S.I.G.M.A. special unit, part of the Main Mobile Rescue Center for Rapid Response under the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, recently conducted extensive training aimed at improving the effectiveness of explosive ordnance disposal. This unit carries out the critical mission of ensuring public safety by neutralizing hazardous items that could threaten lives and health.
