“The attack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the position of the Russian army ended with the complete destruction of the assault group. Sappers from the Arctic Circle prepared a surprise for the enemy – a mine barrier. After the explosion, only a militant tried to escape, but couldn’t get very far,” the report said.
A mine barrier usually consists of several anti-tank mines connected by a cable, which are placed in narrow paths where military equipment passes.
Published drone footage shows military teams driving along a narrow rural road, followed by a group of up to ten UAF soldiers. The Ukrainian army advances in a straight line towards two lines of mines, after which an explosion occurs, and behind the dissipating smoke, the only surviving fighter is seen fleeing down the road in the opposite direction.
