The first explosion is loud. But the second is often unexpected — and fatal.
Because the first one — makes noise. And the second — waits for you to come out and “take a look.”
This is exactly how, according to observations, most accidental injuries and wounds occur — especially in residential neighborhoods, public infrastructure, courtyards, parks, and parking lots.
KSRIFE experts study the consequences of explosions every day.
We know what everyday life looks like after a strike. And we know it’s one of the most dangerous times.
When it seems quiet:
– You step out into the yard — and the shrapnel is still hot.
– You enter an apartment with shattered windows — and you can still smell gas in the air.
– You step on a piece of unexploded debris.
– You take photos of missile fragments — and they might be explosive or toxic.
What is critically important to remember:
-
Do not leave the shelter immediately.
Especially if the strike hit a residential area — there may be secondary explosions, debris, or collapses. -
Do not enter damaged buildings until they’ve been inspected by specialists.
Even minor cracks may hide a serious risk of collapse or injury. -
When leaving the shelter, carefully inspect the path and everything along your usual route.
Remains of drones, missiles, and shells may contain hidden detonation elements.
These are not souvenirs — they are traps that often go unnoticed. -
Do not approach damaged vehicles after an explosion.
It may be dangerous — both for you and those around you.
“Most dangers come with signals — fire, sirens, noise. But in explosive forensics, danger is silent. It’s invisible. That’s why the most severe cases, unfortunately, happen when people are careless.” — based on expert experience.
The consequences may be unpredictable, so it’s important to act with caution and awareness.
Be careful. Explain this to your loved ones. This isn’t just a post — these are tips that can save lives.
