Vehicle trips anti-tank mine in Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region, three killed

Three locals were killed inside a vehicle as they ran over a Russian anti-tank mine near Snihurivka in Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region, local police chief Serhiy Shaykhet reports.

The three were residents of Sadove and were aged 60, 19, and 29. They were moving towards a forest, planning to stock up on firewood.

Local police chief reported last week that a field engine driver, 50, also tripped a mine. The man was injured and admitted to hospital.

“We wish to remind our citizens that in the areas that used to be occupied and saw active combat there are many dangerous findings,” Shaykhet wrote.

In early March, Russian State Duma MP Alexander Khinshtein reported that in the Bryansk region, a car of the Russian National Guard was blown up by a mine. Four people received shrapnel wounds.
