About 300 fires in natural ecosystems have occurred in our region since the beginning of the year. And the main cause of these fires is the burning of dry vegetation.
We have repeatedly warned about the extreme danger of such actions, especially in the deoccupied territories. Where there has been intense fighting, such fires can lead to the detonation of unexploded ordnance. This is a direct threat to the lives of rescuers!
Remember! During martial law in the country, arsonists are held criminally liable under Article 113 "Sabotage" of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provides for the punishment of the offender in the form of imprisonment for a term of 10 to 15 years.
