It was established that the explosive device found was a TM-57 anti-tank mine. On the same day, a pyrotechnic team from the Special-Purpose Emergency and Rescue Unit of the Main Department of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Lviv Oblast removed the ordnance and destroyed it in the prescribed manner.
