Russian invaders have begun using drones to scatter explosive devices, which pose a threat to all regions of Ukraine.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs reported this on Facebook, showing what such explosive devices may look like on the example of those seized in Kyiv, Ukrinform reports.

“The risk is also extremely high because the time of explosion of such ammunition is unknown,” the ministry warns.

It is emphasized that the appearance of such items may vary.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs urges citizens to warn their loved ones about the new threat. If you find a suspicious object, do not approach or touch it and call 101, 102 or 112 instead.
