Urgent Safety Guidance for Ukrainians Following Shelling Attacks

Staying Safe When Encountering Explosive Hazards

According to Державна міграційна служба: After hostile shelling, debris impact sites may still contain dangerous objects that pose a serious risk to life and health. Knowing how to react upon spotting suspicious or explosive items is critical for survival.

If you see a suspicious or explosive object, never approach or touch it. Avoid moving, dismantling, or attempting to disarm such items on your own. Recommended actions include:

• Move to a safe distance;
• Alert nearby people to the danger;
• Immediately call 112 to report the discovery.

Protect yourself and avoid putting others at risk.

Understanding Safety Protocols

Given the ongoing conflict and escalating situation in the region, knowledge of safety rules is more important than ever. The public must be aware of potential threats to minimize risks to life and health.

Support for safety awareness campaigns can significantly reduce the number of accidents involving explosive devices.

Recent incidents highlight the urgent need for awareness regarding unexploded ordnance in the region. For instance, two children were hospitalized after an unexploded device detonated in Vinnytsia. This serves as a stark reminder of the immediate dangers present, emphasizing the importance of following safety protocols to protect not only oneself but also those around you.
