"Russian armed groups are remotely delivering mines to the areas close to the positions of the Joint Forces between the settlements of Orikhove and Zolote-5," said the report, referring to data provided by the Ukrainian delegates to the Joint Ceasefire Control and Coordination Center.

The Ukrainian side to the JCCC says the enemy employs POM-2 anti-personnel mines with a self-destruction period of four to 100 hours (an average of 23-24 hours).
It is noted that there are modifications of mines without self-destruction mode.
The enemy uses RPG-7 grenade launchers to launch modernized PG-7 RDGs.
"The kill zone is up to 16 meters. A mine detonates once someone trips over one of the four thin nylon wires, each 10 meters long," the report says.
