18-year-old girl tripped a mine in Luhansk region – Moskal

18-year-old local girl tripped a mine near the 29th stronghold between Novotoshkivka and Donetsk.

Censor.NET reports referring to Hennadii Moskal, Head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration.

"The girl tripped a mine in a forest belt. It was a trip-wire mine. Ukrainian soldiers brought the injured to the Lysychansk hospital, but it was a fatal wound," Moskal said.

The press service asks locals not to wander around for fear of danger from mines. Sappers have to examine the area initially. For this reason, it is forbidden to gather wood and to hunt in the Luhansk region.
