The head of the Kyiv Patrol Police, Evhen Zhukov, urged not to pick up unknown objects from the ground in the areas of shelling. In particular, cluster warheads of the “9K720 Iskander” missile, which resembles beer cans or an oil filter, he wrote on his Facebook.
“Brothers and sisters, spread the word: this is what “Iskanders” are stuffed with. They look similar to the beer bottle or an oil filter. Even if “Iskander” was shot down, you should not pick them up. Only explosives technicians neutralize them. These are missile warheads. They have little balls like a projectile. Civilians are not allowed near them,” Zhukov wrote, warning that there was already an attempt to dismantle the shell, which ended in death.
“They (cluster missile warheads - ed.) can detonate within 24 hours and more. Large numerical parts should be passed on to the military to identify the missile. The UN convention bans such missiles. This is for the Hague," Zhukov said.
The Russian army is shelling Ukrainian civilian and residential buildings with mobile short-range ballistic missile systems Iskander.
