Pokemon GO players in Bosnia are risking their lives to hunt for the cartoon monsters by walking over minefields.
A Bosnian charity has issued a warning to all Pokemon hunters in the country after hearing reports of players venturing into risky areas to catch them.
More than 600 people have been killed in landmine accidents in Bosnia since the end of the Bosnian War in 1995.
Demining charity Posavina bezmina wrote on Facebook: “We received information that some users of the Pokemon Go app in Bosnia were going to places which are a risk of mines, in search of a Pokemon.
“Citizens are urged not to do so, to respect demarcation signs of dangerous mine fields and not to go into unknown areas.”
The charity has also estimated that 120,000 mines remain undiscovered as two per cent of the country contains unexploded mines.
Numerous incidents involving the popular app have been reported across the UK, with a gang of 20 youths stealing a boat to chase a pokemon across the water.
A Pokemon Go player also called 999 to report a thief had “stolen their pokemon”.
