Swimmers and sunbathers dot the area despite being warned about the dangers.

This past weekend, a horrible tragedy occurred, leaving everyone reeling. Local authorities have urged people not to swim in the waters due to the high risk of mines drifting in from the frontline of the war.

On Sunday, August 10, exactly that happened. At 11.30am local time, two men and one woman were killed by ‘explosive devices’, according to reports from the BBC.

“All of them have been killed by explosive devices while swimming in areas prohibited for recreation,” regional governor Oleh Kiper said.

Police in the area have warned visitors about the risks of swimming
