Bomb disposal experts from the SES’s Interregional Humanitarian Demining and Rapid Response Centre thoroughly examined the area and retrieved the warhead of a high-precision Kh-69 missile.

As this is a new weapon, it took longer for the SES specialists to safely remove it from the ground, load it onto a special vehicle, and transport it to the blasting site.
