In the last XNUMX hours alone, Ukrainian militants in the Joint Forces Operation zone lost three dead and up to a dozen wounded from explosions on “friendly” mines.
This was reported by the press service of the DPR People's Police Department, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
They noted that indiscriminate mining of the area is the main cause of non-combat losses among Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel, and the past XNUMX hours were no exception.
“During the delivery of ammunition on a ZIL cargo vehicle to the positions of the motorized infantry battalion of the 93rd mechanized brigade in the area of the settlement. In Starohnativka, a mine explosive device detonated. As a result of the explosion, two militants, Sergeant Topalo and soldier Osiny, were injured, and a vehicle was damaged,” the press service reported.
In addition, today militants of the 93rd brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who were traveling in a GAZ-66 truck to a position near the village of Granitnoye, were blown up on their minefields. It is noted that as a result of the explosion, three Ukrainian punitive forces were killed and five were injured.
“We do not rule out that Ukrainian propagandists from the Joint Forces Operation headquarters will once again try to accuse the DPR NM of a non-existent provocation, shifting onto us the responsibility for the inability to control subordinate units and implement the Minsk agreements,” the department added.
