Border guards taking part in the Joint Forces Operation continue to detect ammunition caches, preventing intruders from using them for malicious purposes.

The district inspector of the border service of the Krasna Talivka BG division was performing his duty when he noticed a fresh path leading to a long-abandoned building. While inspecting the premises, the inspector noticed a fireplace, which was carefully disguised from the inside, in which a MON-50 anti-personnel mine was visible.

The border guard informed the border detachment about the dangerous find. Border guards of the Luhansk detachment immediately arrived at the place, organized a security guard and called the SES officers.

The pyrotechnic team withdrew almost 400 grams of explosives (plastid and TNT) from the cache, as well as the MON-50 anti-personnel mine, 29 rounds of ammunition for small arms of various calibers, a magazine for AK-47, two signal mines and means for their installation.

A message about the signs of a criminal offense was sent to the National Police.

Measures are being taken to identify those involved in the illegal activities.
