In the village of Velyka Novoselka, Donetsk region, a child who found a missile warhead died, the Office of the Ombudsman of Ukraine said..

“The boy found the combat element of the Tornado-S rocket. The projectile detonated and the child received bodily injuries incompatible with life, ”the tragedy was reported in the office.

Human rights activists urge to tell children about the handling of explosive objects, even if you are not in the zone of active hostilities, because shelling occurs throughout the country. At the same time, in children, natural curiosity exceeds the feeling of fear and self-defense, so they come close, try to make out or bring home.

So, in case of detection of an explosive device, it is FORBIDDEN:.

approach the subject;

move it or pick it up;

discharge, throw, hit him;

light a fire nearby or throw an object at it;

bring an item home, to the yard, to school.

Notify the police, emergency services on 101 or adults immediately of the find.

“Preliminarily, since the beginning of a full-scale war, only in the Donetsk region, 18 children were killed by shell explosions, another 29 were injured.. The data is inaccurate, since in some settlements of the region it is not yet possible to establish the real number of dead and injured,” the Ombudsman’s office added..
