A bomb on the roof of a building removed with a crane in Kharkov

Russia’s attacks on Ukraine still continue. During the war, there are hundreds of unexploded ammunition in the areas under the control of the Ukrainian army. In Pivnichna Saltivka, Ukraine’s Kharkov region, bomb disposal teams and an Emergency Service team started a meticulous effort to remove a Russian-made FAB-500 type bomb, which was dropped on a 9-storey building in March but didn’t explode. The bomb, which couldn’t be picked up from where it was in March due to the uninterrupted air strikes in the region, was removed from the roof 3 months later with a special rescue vehicle, forklift, crane, and an operation in which about 10 bomb disposal experts and rescue workers participated. It’s been stated that if the bomb explodes where it hits, it’s strong enough to raze the building to the ground.
