The mines have a period of time of self-destructing detonation from four to 100 hours

The pro-Russian militants mine the positions of Ukrainian military near Orikhovo and Zolote-5 as the HQ of the Joint Forces Operation reported.

They mine the positions with the POM-2 mines, which have a period of time of self-destructing detonation from four up to 100 hours. They are delivered by RPG-7 grenade launcher with processed grenade PG-7.

“Radius of complete destruction makes up to 16 meters; the mine activates when a person touches one of four thin caprone threads with the length of up to 10 meters. There are also modifications of the mine without self-destructing detonation,” the message said.

The Joint Coordination and Control center drew the attention of the civilian population to the necessity to increase vigilance during the movement in the JFO zone.

As we reported, the pro-Russian militants banned OSCE representatives to enter the temporarily occupied territories once again. The patrol of the mission wanted to enter the territory near Verhnioshyrokivske.

Recently, we reported that the Ukrainian side did not withdraw its anti-aircraft missile systems 9K33 Osa. The OSCE claimed that this is a violation of the Minsk agreements, but Joint Forces Operation staff denies it.
