“Specialists from the State Emergency Service carried out a unique demining operation in Vyshgorod. […] One of the Russian drones hit the roof of a high-rise building, but fortunately did not explode. As a result, the damaged drone itself, its warhead, and 21 cluster munitions remained on the roof. Another dangerous “cassette” was in the courtyard of the house.”
Rescuers noted that the explosive objects were dangerous because they were equipped with self-destruct devices and could explode at any moment.
“The dangerous area was fenced off, and the residents of the upper floors were evacuated. To minimize risks, operators of robotic systems and UAVs used drones and a multifunctional robot in tandem, including on the roof of the house. The robot carefully collected all the explosive objects into a special container, which was then loaded into a pyrotechnic vehicle using a crane,” explained the State Emergency Service.
The civil service emphasized that all ammunition was neutralized by a controlled explosion at a special site.
