Kobleve a small, coastal village, in the region of Mykolaiv infested with hundreds of mines
The beach and sea are infested with hundreds of mines placed by both sides in RussiaÕs war on Ukraine, posing a serious threat to people. The Ukrainian government has banned coastal bathing. Experts agree it will take years to de-mine the Black Sea.

Danger in every step: the 'chaotic and complex' work of Ukraine’s de-miners
Forests become no-go zones, except for de-mining experts who have warned it will take years to clear threat.
In the forest bordering the village of Zalissia, north-east of Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, a yellow painted wooden stake has been driven in the sandy ground next to a tree trunk shredded by a mine.
While Russian trenches and foxholes are still visible among trees, these days the forest is busy with de-mining teams working with the British Halo Trust, a mine-clearing charity.
Even before Russia's full-scale invasion earlier this year, de-miners were confronting a years-long effort to clear mines from Ukraine's east. The country was ranked fifth in the world for civilian casualties caused by mines and in the top three for anti-vehicle mine incidents.
Local de-mining experts are warning that even if the war were to end tomorrow, it will take at least a decade to clear the threat.
Tetyana Sikachina, 31, peels mushrooms to sell to passing motorists. Once a common sight in this part of Ukraine during the autumn months. These mushrooms were collected in the fields behind her house because she is too frightened to go into the forest because of the danger.

A deminer follows a mine tripwire where it runs into the forest. Almost invisible to the naked eye and hidden among the leafmeal on the forest floor booby traps left by retreating Russian forces earlier this year are one of the risks in the forest as well as unexploded ordinance and anti-tank mines.

After checking for tripwires a deminer uses a mine detector to sweep a narrow area in front of him. The nature of the heavily wooded forest north east of Kyiv means that mine clearance activities are slow and laborious.
