Law enforcers urged Ukrainians to be careful, especially drivers of any equipment working in the fields or moving on field roads where visibility is limited due to plants.

If you find such a mine, you should stop the car, move away from it to a safe distance and call the police at 102. This also applies to the found Russian drones that did not explode when they fell.

"In addition to a powerful warhead, they may also contain mine traps or sensors that can provoke an explosion in case of an attempt to interfere," law enforcement officials warned .
