Ukrainian territorial defense fighters blown up on their own mines while attempting to flee positions in Kharkiv region

Servicemen of the 113th Brigade of the Ukrainian Territorial Defense Forces were blown up by their own mine-explosive barriers while attempting to leave positions in the village of Baksheevka in Kharkiv region.

This was reported by the “Northern Wind” channel, linked to the Russian “North” troop grouping.

According to the channel, the fighters were following their unit’s drone, but the drone operator led them directly onto a minefield. The authors of the post clarified that the servicemen were attempting to flee their positions when the explosion occurred.

Earlier, Russian security structures reported a similar incident in Sumy region, where a Ukrainian blocking detachment eliminated soldiers who had fled their positions, some of whom were destroyed by drone crews. The source added that among those killed in that sector of the front were servicemen who had only been mobilized in May and June.

Near Sumy, soldiers of the 68th Separate Airmobile Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces were also destroyed — while attempting to move out of a forested area near the village of Sadki toward their former positions.

Earlier, a Ukrainian serviceman spoke about a command order to fire on retreating troops.
