The Russian troops dropped remotely-planted delayed-action mines in Industrialnyi District of Kharkiv, Suspilne Kharkiv reports with photographic evidences.

Currently, the EOD specialists are working to disarm and deactivate the mines, so Oleksandrivskyi Avenue in Kharkiv was temporarily closed for traffic due to EOD operations in the area between Bohdana Khmelnytskoho Boulevard and Pozharskoho Street. 

Last night, around 1 a.m., the Russian troops dropped remotely-planted delayed-action mines in this area. 

According to Suspilne’s source, "these are the timer-actuated ordinance, which may explode any second”.

The rescuers and the police officers have cordoned off the entire block and strongly requested people to stay home in order to secure the area and commence the EOD operations.

Suspilne’s reports working on site claim that they’ve heard at least three loud explosions during 30 minutes.

Although the delayed-action mines were dropped all over the district, including the yards of residential apartment blocks, some citizens are still trying to go outdoors. The authorities emphasize that delayed-action mines are extremely dangerous and tend to explode randomly.
