Police enhance security at cemeteries ahead of memorial days

In Ukraine, on the eve of memorial days, the police are stepping up security measures near cemeteries and on roads. This is due to increased risks from mine danger and the possible detection of explosive objects. This was announced by Anatoliy Seredynskyi, First Deputy Head of the Department of Preventive Activities of the National Police of Ukraine, on the air of the telethon, as reported by UNN.

Details

Traditionally, a week after Easter, we commemorate the deceased. This is accompanied by a large number of citizens and clergy at cemeteries. Accordingly, the police are already strengthening security measures near such facilities starting today. We are also strengthening security measures on roads. First of all, this is due to the continued risks associated with the detection of explosive objects, as well as mine danger.

In addition, he emphasized that currently about a thousand cemeteries in Ukraine remain prohibited for visiting.

Unfortunately, about a thousand cemeteries in our country are prohibited for visiting. This applies to frontline regions: Kherson, Chernihiv, Donetsk, Zakarpattia, and Luhansk oblasts. Relevant decisions have been made by military administrations.

The official also urged citizens to follow the recommendations of the National Police and basic safety rules when visiting cemeteries.

Recall

Earlier, UNN reported that Russians are using "Pryanik" anti-personnel mines for remote mining of Ukrainian cities.
