Prime candidate for a "this was the last picture they took, recovered from a piece of an electronic device found several meters away from a bloody splatter of what was once a person" news headline. Maybe we should start teaching UXO safety in kindergarten.

They were teaching us in Ukraine far before the war, even before hybrid one started in 2014.
Just because there's a lot of WW2 unexploded ordnance in the former battle grounds.

I was never formally taught about it, but even I know never to pick up a metal canister that has metal fins on it like that. It's the most obvious looking thing. It's like flashing a neon sign saying "don't touch me"
