Kyiv, October 15, 2015. No militant attacks on Ukrainian positions were registered at the frontline yesterday. No flights of unmanned aerial vehicles were observed. No Ukrainian troops were wounded or died in combat.
Nevertheless, there are still explosive hazards remaining at the frontline and near the state border. Two troops of the Armed Forces tripped a mine in Stanytsia Luhanska. A vehicle being driven by a Ukrainian border guard tripped a landmine near Krasna Talivka, resulting in light injuries to six troops and severe injuries to three more servicemen. State Emergency Service engineers are working on clearing the area from mines every day. Yesterday they examined almost 9 ha of territory and rendered 16 explosive hazards safe.
