Butterfly Mines in Donetsk

Donetsk officials report that local people continue to be injured by anti-personnel mines deployed by the Kiev regime. The mines, known as “butterfly” or “petal” mines, are usually launched by artillery or dropped from aircraft. Video footage from Donetsk shows people placing cardboard boxes over mines and otherwise marking them for later removal by trained sappers. On July 30, Donetsk officials reported that they had disposed of more than 600 of the PFM-1 mines over just two days.
