The disposal of the enemy munitions was carried out by SES pyrotechnicians.

Large-scale airstrike by Russia on Ukraine at the end of summer
On August 26, Russia carried out yet another combined airstrike on Ukrainian territory, launching 127 missiles and 109 drones. During the attack, the Russian army targeted energy infrastructure in 15 regions of Ukraine.
At that time, energy officials described the assault as unprecedented. Among the targets was the Kyiv Hydroelectric Power Plant, which fortunately did not suffer critical damage.
The recent discovery of dangerous remnants of the Kinzhal missile in the Lviv region is not the first of its kind. On September 1, SES sapper units also recovered warheads from Kinzhal and X-101 missiles in this region.
