Pokemon Go Players Risk Landmines in Bosnia

An agency in Bosnia is pleading with Pokemon Go players to be more aware of their environment while hunting for virtual creatures, because distracted users have been unknowingly wandering into landmine-rich areas. “We received information that there are cases where users of the Pokemon Go app in Bosnia are entering into mined forests and risky areas in order to find Pokemon,” said the Facebook page for nongovernmental organization Posavina bez mina. “We ask all citizens to respect all signs warning them about mines and to not enter areas unfamiliar to them.” The mines are remnants from the 1990s conflict in the area.
