Bosnian Pokemon Go players being warned not to explore minefields
Wednesday, July 20, 2016
There are certain warnings that shouldn’t be required such as not to play Pokémon Go while driving or in minefields, but yet they are.
Posavina bez mina, a charity that deals with demining in the region, has issued a warning after reports of players wandering around risky areas in search of Pokémon.
"Today we received information that some users of the Pokémon Go app in Bosnia were going to places which are a risk for [unexploded] mines, in search of a Pokémon. Citizens are urged not to do so, to respect demarcation signs of dangerous minefields and not to go into unknown areas," the NGO said.
There are growing numbers of reports of players putting themselves at risk. Baltimore Police earlier released a video of a driver crashing into a parked cop car while playing Pokémon Go. Meanwhile, two men had to be rescued after falling off a seaside cliff in California.
