In April of this year, internal service captain Dmytro Ziulkov raised "FAB-100" aerial bombs from the Great Patriotic War era from the bottom of the Turiia River in the Volyn region. Now he has become a laureate of the All-Ukrainian campaign "Hero-Rescuer of the Year," – reported on September 22 by the Western Information Corporation's own correspondent.
In mid-April, several unexploded aerial bombs were discovered near the bridge over the Turiia River. A pyrotechnic works group of the Ukrainian Ministry of Emergency Situations in the Volyn region under the leadership of Dmytro Ziulkov immediately went to the site and eliminated the threat.
After the liberation of Volyn from the fascists, engineers who were building the bridge checked the bottom, but nothing of the kind was discovered then. Specialists surmise that these bombs were dropped considerably upstream, and over the decades they were carried to the bridge itself.
During the "Hero-Rescuer of the Year" campaign, the best rescuers who have shown courage and heroism in saving people are honored annually.
