They have a large impact area, but  when fly apart and fall to the ground, some of them do not detonate. So they can explode from any touch, even though they have no seismic sensor

Never approach or touch explosive objects. Immediately report such findings to 101. Super-hazardous work - neutralization of ERW - is performed only by sappers

- the SES emphasized.

Recall

Ukraine has allocated 3 billion hryvnias from the state budget for humanitarian demining programs and is working to compensate farmers for demining their land before the sowing season.
