A 55-year-old man was killed in the Zolochiv community in Kharkiv Oblast. He was riding a moped near the village of Odnorobivka when he ran over an unknown explosive device. The man sustained fatal injuries.
Oleg Synyegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration, reported the tragedy. According to him, the explosion occurred near the village of Odnorobivka in the Zolochiv community of the Bohodukhiv District. A local resident was riding a moped when he struck an explosive device on or near the road.
“Near the village of Odnorobivka in the Zolochiv community, a local resident was blown up by an unknown explosive device while riding a moped. Unfortunately, the 55-year-old man died,” Synyegubov wrote. No further details of the tragedy have been reported at this time. In particular, it is unknown exactly what type of explosive device caused the detonation.
The Kharkiv region remains dangerous due to explosive ordnance
Due to ongoing hostilities in the Kharkiv region, there remains a high risk of encountering landmines and other explosive devices. Areas where fighting previously took place, as well as fields, forest strips, roadsides, and areas near settlements that were under shelling or occupation, can be particularly dangerous. An explosive device is not always immediately visible. It may be concealed by grass, soil, or debris.
If you spot a suspicious object, do not approach it, touch it, move it, or attempt to defuse it yourself. Move to a safe distance and notify emergency responders or the police. The tragedy near Odnorobivka once again demonstrates that the danger posed by abandoned explosive devices in the Kharkiv region persists even far from the immediate front line. This was reported by Oleg Synyegubov, head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration.
As a reminder, fires broke out at industrial facilities in the Kyiv region following an attack by the Russian Federation.
Russia also launched a massive attack on Kyiv, killing and wounding civilians.
Later, rescue workers showed the aftermath of the strikes on Kyiv.
