Russians fired at Apostolovo near Krivoy Rog/Collage of Channel 24
Russian troops shelled Apostolovo, which is 40 kilometers from Krivoy Rog. Unfortunately, several people were killed due to this artillery attack.
This was announced on the night of June 15 by the head of the Apostolovsky territorial community, Andrei Osa. According to him, the Russians were hitting the peaceful town with Uragan multiple launch rocket systems.
How many people died as a result of the shelling
The attack began at the end of the last day. Soon, emergency services arrived at the place where the shells hit. By this time, there were already 4 people who died as a result of the actions of Russian troops.
The consequences of the strike were partially eliminated by the employees of the State Emergency Service, the National Police and explosives experts. However, work on this will continue the next day.
A big request to all residents – be careful and careful in moving. The places of all rocket arrivals are still unknown. Please do not touch any metal objects,” Osa wrote.
He urged to call the emergency services or the city council hotline when discovering unknown objects and places of damage:
- 101;
- 102;
- 0 (67) 825 60 05.
Could fire cluster munitions
< p>June 11, Russian troops shelled the Dnepropetrovsk region with cluster munitions. Prior to this, such cases were also recorded more than once. Since the mayor of the Apostle urged to be careful with metal objects, this probably happened again.
If this type of weaponry was really used, then even walking the streets by sunrise is dangerous. After all, somewhere extremely dangerous parts of the shells could remain. Therefore, the locals should wait until the explosives experts check everything again.
The Geneva Convention prohibits the use of cluster shells. This is due to the fact that such ammunition can scatter over the attacked territory even for years. They can explode when someone picks up the element or even from a change in temperature. At the same time, such explosive devices may be invisible. For example, when stuck in the ground under the grass.
