A subversive group
accidentally walked on a minefield.
DONETSK, April 20.
/TASS/. A group of Ukrainian servicemen trying to secretly cross into the
territory of the self-proclaimed eastern Ukrainian republic of Donetsk (DPR)
was killed when they accidentally stepped onto a minefield created by the pro-government
forces, a DPR militia spokesman said.
"At about 18:00
on Friday, two subversive groups of the enemy, each comprising between 10 and
12 members… tried to sneak onto the republic’s territory near the village of
Oktyabr. Some of the ill-fated intruders walked onto a minefield. As a result,
three Ukrainian servicemen were killed, and two more were injured," said
Daniil Bezsonov, the head of the DPR militia’s press service.
He said the Ukrainian
servicemen tried to evacuate the injured and sustained losses again: four died
and five were injured.
