An evacuation vehicle carrying local residents and a volunteer hit a mine near the temporarily occupied town of Oleshky on the left bank of the Kherson region.
Volunteer Kseniya Arkhipova reported this on social media.
According to her, the incident occurred at 10 a.m. on January 17. The trip had not been planned, as volunteers had suspended all evacuations due to bad weather. But people persuaded the driver to take them out today.
There were five people in the car. The vehicle was supposed to go to Skadovsk, where the driver was to hand the passengers over to a carrier who evacuates people from the Kherson region. After driving 7 km from Oleshky, the car hit a mine that the driver did not see because of a thick layer of snow, the volunteer said.
It is currently known that a woman and a man lost their legs, and one person was killed. The injured are in hospitals in Oleshky.
