This was reported on Facebook by the Khmilnyk City Council, according to Ukrinform.

"The Vinnytsia Regional Military Administration informs that as part of measures to strengthen the defense of the state border and protect the national security of Ukraine in the territories bordering the Transnistrian region of the Republic of Moldova, engineering work is being carried out to strengthen protective borders and additional mine and explosive barriers are being installed in sections of the border strip within the Tulchyn and Mohyliv-Podilskyi districts," the statement said.
