Yesterday, police arrested 16 illegal tourists in the Chernobyl zone

On May 6, officers of the Vyshhorod District Police Department together with employees of the State Border Guard Service found 5 groups of extreme tourists in the exclusion zone. All of them entered the Chernobyl zone illegally, bypassing checkpoints.
