The curious people approached the object and, not afraid of the mine detonating, decided to remove it from the site with their own forces without any type of anti-mine security or professional supervision.
The mine is a model YaM-type Soviet-made and the main characteristic of this weapon is to detonate more than 20kg of explosive with any minimum pressure, despite this the people who decided to take it out ignored this premise putting the lives of everyone in the place at risk. In the video published through the X platform, the large object can be seen being removed with difficulty by the curious.

Many Internet users suggest that it is an obsolete mine from the Soviet Union era that by chance ended up there, but others claim that it is Turkish military material and if this is the case, the Russian authorities could ask the Turkish government for explanations. There is also the theory that it is a remnant of the previous conflict that the Russian Federation had with Georgia in 2008.
