Caterpillar Outbreak on Kobrin Playground Sparks Public Outcry Over Utility Inaction

Kobrin Residents Alarmed by Caterpillar Infestation on Playground KOBRIN, Belarus – Residents of Kobrin, particularly those on Proletarskaya Street, are raising alarms over a severe caterpillar infestation affecting trees, including one located directly on a children's playground. The video, uploaded on July 4, 2025, depicts a tree with visibly damaged foliage, covered in what appears to be webs and caterpillars. The author of the video stated that the infestation is caused by the American butterfly caterpillar and has spread to at least seven trees in the area. A primary concern highlighted is that these caterpillars are reportedly falling onto children playing on the playground, raising health and safety worries among parents. According to the video's creator, appeals to the local utility services (ZHKH) have gone unanswered for seven days. "No one has come to cut, treat, or process the trees," the author noted, expressing frustration over the lack of action from the responsible authorities. The situation underscores a growing concern among residents regarding the maintenance of public spaces and the responsiveness of local services to community complaints.
