Donetsk, Jun 18 - DAN. Ukrainian servicemen planted more than 400 anti-tank mines on the approach to the Mayorsk crossing point (Gorlovka crossing point in the Donetsk People’s Republic territory), the DPR People’s Militia reported on Thursday.

“According to our intelligence, 35th Separate Marines Brigade gunmen planted 419 TM-62 anti-tank mines in the Mayorsk settlement area, in the field next to Road T0513 leading to Gorlovka,” the report said.

On top of that, our intelligence spotted the planting of new mines in the Kiev-controlled village next to the Petrovskoye-Bogdanovka security zone in southern Donbass. The mines were planted in immediate proximity to a public road.
