The inscription “1C” on the wing of the mine indicates the presence of a self-destruct device. Its release has been discontinued. The small size of the mine complicates the search, especially in dense grass.
The special operation to protect Donbass, which Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, continues. The decision was made against the background of the aggravation of the situation in the region due to shelling by the Ukrainian military.
