Quote from the General Staff: "As they flee from the south of Ukraine, the Russian occupiers are leaving a large number of mine traps...
They are totally indifferent to the fact that Ukrainian civilians, often with children, will be coming back to the homes they have mined."
Details: The General Staff has posted photographs of explosives on which Russians had written "From the heart" and "From Russia with love".
Ukrainian mine clearance specialists are reported to be neutralising the "surprises" left by the occupiers.
Vitalii Kim has also reported that a large number of mines have been left in the liberated territories of the south.
Quote from Kim: "There are a lot of mines in the liberated territories and settlements. Do not go near them. Casualties are being reported."
Background:
Earlier, Operational Command Pivden (South) reported that the Russians were mining the coast of the left bank of the Dnipro River.
On 10 November, reports said that Russian occupation forces mined whatever they could reach while retreating from Kherson; they also blew up critical infrastructure facilities, including bolier rooms, communication towers and Antonivka Road Bridge.
