"A tractor triggered a mine while working in the field around 13:00 in the Seredyna-Buda hromada of the Shostka district.

The tractor driver drove into the field, ignoring the ‘mines’ signs. As a result of the detonation, the man received injuries to his lower and upper limbs. The injured was provided with first aid and taken to the hospital," the administration said.
