Incident in the Shevchenkivskyi District of Kyiv
In Kyiv, law enforcement recorded an incident where a driver placed a replica of the PFM-1 anti-personnel mine, made using a 3D printer, on the roof of their Volkswagen car. A report about the suspicious vehicle moving through the streets of the Shevchenkivskyi district was received on the emergency line 102.
After checking, the police determined that the object on the car was not a real explosive device, but merely a copy. However, such a “joke” did not go without consequences — the driver was held administratively responsible for petty hooliganism.
Replicas of dangerous items are unacceptable
The police emphasized that even the imitation or use of models of items that may be perceived as dangerous is strictly prohibited in public places. Such actions can cause panic among residents and divert emergency services from performing important tasks.
