The explosion heard by Kyiv residents in the Shevchenkivskyi district was the result of the controlled disposal of an enemy munition. This was reported by the Kyiv police, writes UNN.
Today, a representative of the communal enterprise, during an inspection of a building damaged by an enemy air attack on the capital on June 17, discovered an explosive object in the elevator shaft.
It is noted that specialists from the explosive ordnance disposal service of the capital's police promptly arrived at the scene and seized the cluster munition.
