A dangerous discovery was found in the middle of a field in Pervomaiskyi district of Mykolaiv region - a warhead of a Russian X-101 cruise missile.

This was reported by the State Emergency Service of Mykolaiv region.

According to the agency, the suspicious object was reported by residents of Pervomaiskyi district. After examining the area, experts confirmed that it was the remains of a missile that posed a serious threat.

Pyrotechnics from Kirovograd region, who help to clear the territory of southern Ukraine, were engaged in the work. Using special equipment - a heavy pyrotechnic machine with a manipulator - the dangerous element was carefully removed.

After that, the warhead was transported and destroyed in a specially designed place.

The rescuers emphasize that in case of detection of suspicious objects, one should not approach or touch them - it is necessary to immediately notify the emergency services.

Earlier, Intent wrote that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian pyrotechnics have found and neutralized 29,855 explosive devices in the Mykolaiv region. More than 14 thousand pyrotechnics and identifiers were involved in these works. They have already demined a total area of 12,066 hectares using both manual and mechanized methods.

The project is being implemented under the United Nations Development Program in Ukraine with the financial support of the Government of Luxembourg.

Earlier, an initiative for effective demining was launched in Ukraine - Life Robots Ukraine. The project focuses on two types of robots: the first to deliver goods to the war zone, and the second to safely dispose of mines. One of the most affordable Ukrainian robots is capable of destroying mines mechanically, using special chains that create pressure on the ground. The explosions do not disable the machine, and the operator is kept at a safe distance.
