Two tractor drivers had come to the field to prepare straw for the winter for the cattle. At some point, one of the villagers stepped on a cluster munition lying in the field, and the dangerous device detonated."
Details: The men sustained mine-blast injuries to their bodies. The 48-year-old man died instantly. The other man was taken to hospital.
Quote from Shaikhet: "Once again, I appeal to citizens to be as attentive and cautious as possible, especially in those settlements that have been subjected to active attacks. If you find any dangerous explosive devices, call 102 immediately".
