Don't try to run from the explosive wave

According to information from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the explosive wave spreads at an extraordinary speed, which cannot be overcome by a person or vehicle. If you find yourself in a potential explosion zone, it is important to act wisely and correctly.

According to glavcom.ua: The explosion can have unpredictable nature, so it is crucial not to attempt to flee. The best option is to take cover behind a solid shelter or lie on the ground, covering your head with your hands, since the wave's propagation speed exceeds the capabilities of a person or vehicle.

Algorithm of actions in the possible explosion zone:

• Lie on the ground face down, with your feet pointing towards the detonation site.
• Cover your head with your hands and keep your mouth open.
• If possible, find a depression in the ground for shelter.

Why it is important to follow these rules

• The shockwave can cause severe injuries to internal organs and eardrums.
• Keeping an open mouth and breathing in short breaths can reduce the risk of injury.
• If you are near a depression, it is better to take cover there and lie on the ground.

Moreover, rescuers urge citizens to be prepared for emergencies, such as being trapped under debris. It is important to stay calm, signal for help, and refrain from sudden movements that could lead to further collapse of structures.

Additionally, the State Emergency Service recommends citizens to learn about the nearest shelter locations as the best way to prevent negative consequences in dangerous situations.

Explanations on how to behave in case of an explosion and recommendations for actions in emergencies are extremely important for the safety of citizens. Knowing the correct algorithms of actions and maintaining a calm, rational approach can help avoid serious injuries and fatalities in extreme circumstances.
