Explosive item kills three swimmers off Ukrainian Black Sea beach

Three civilians have been killed and two others wounded by an explosive device while swimming in the Black Sea in Ukraine’s southwestern region of Odesa, according to local police.

Police said the accident happened on Sunday when several people working on a construction site ignored barriers and warning signs on the beach and went swimming in the sea in the Belhorod-Dnistrovskyi district.

“In the water, as a result of an explosion of an unknown object, three men aged 25, 32 and 53 years old … were killed,” the police said in a written statement. The statement added that another man and a woman had been wounded.

Ukrainian authorities closed sea beaches this summer. Ukraine’s military also planted mines along the coast in case of a Russian amphibious assault, cordoning off beach entrances with red and white tape.
