The participants of the first business trip to the zone of the special military operation returned home — specialists from the Center for Rescue Operations of Special Risk «Leader», the Donskoy and Noginsk Rescue Centers, the Specialized Detachment of the Main Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the city of Sevastopol. Since the beginning of April, they have been on a mission as part of a combined detachment.

The shortest way is the way home. When we entered the city, the feeling was unforgettable: I wanted to sing and dance, rejoice. Finally we saw our native places, native people, our beloved sea— shares Andrey Savchenko — a diver (sapper) of the underwater demining department of a part of pyrotechnic and special diving operations of the Specialized Detachment of the Main Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for Sevastopol.

The pyrotechnic detachments of the emergency department inspected power supply facilities, power lines, water conduits, bridges, overpasses, railway lines, and residential areas with particular care.

They were honored by representatives of the leadership of the Specialized Detachment and the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, as well as Vasily Zubenko, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the city of Sevastopol.

The group was on a business trip for more than 80 days. I am very glad that all the guys completed their tasks with high quality and conscientiously, returned home healthy and unharmed.— notes Arsen Smailov, Deputy Head of the Specialized Detachment of the Main Directorate of the Russian Emergencies Ministry for the city of Sevastopol.

Behind 80 days of hard, dangerous, but such important work: they surveyed almost 125 hectares of territory, discovered and neutralized 4,100 ammunition.
