The administration issued a warning to civilians, advising them against entering areas that have not yet been confirmed as demined by emergency services.

They emphasized that places such as fields, roadsides, and forests are at a higher risk of being mined.

Kherson Oblast's west bank of the Dnipro River was occupied from early March until November 2022.
