Russian Reporter Steps On Russian Mine
Published 3 months ago
Russian propagandists attempting to show Russian sappers clearing an area of scaterrable mines in the vicinity of Shebekino, Belgorod, Russia, manage to detonate a mine and at least two members of the camera crew are injured.
The Russians are claiming the mines were emplaced by Ukrainian forces, but they are shown holding POM-3 type mines, which are only in service of the Russian military, and a relatively new to service (2021). The mines were almost certainly scattered by Russian forces in an attempt to thwart a previous cross border raid by pro Ukrainian fighters.
