A civilian resident of the de-occupied city of Izyum exploded on an anti-personnel mini-type PFM-1 “Petal”. Stepping on it, a 44-year-old man received a mine-explosive injury in the form of an amputation of his left foot. Currently, doctors are providing the victim with the necessary assistance.
The department emphasizes that the PFM-1 “Petal” is an extremely dangerous pressure-action anti-personnel mine. It is designed to cripple people, guaranteed to injure the lower limbs. To activate the mines, it is enough to make a small effort – from a few kilograms.
This is an explosive item that is not seized, but destroyed by sappers at the place of discovery. When mining, it can get stuck in the branches of trees, remain on the roofs of houses, etc., the State Emergency Service notes and urges to report suspicious objects by calling “101”, “102” or “112” if suspicious objects are found.
