"At 07:56 local time today, a civilian Volkswagen Transporter van heading from the 'grey zone' hit a land mine about 600 meters from the Maryinka checkpoint while bypassing a queue," he said.
The vehicle's driver ignored land mine warning signs and tried to drive off to the roadside, where the minibus hit a land mine.
Five people were in the van, Zadubinny said.
