Russian "Pryanik" with explosives: occupiers are scattering new mines in Mykolaiv region

On the border of Bashtan and Mykolaiv districts, Russian forces are remotely scattering anti-personnel mines “Pryanik”, also known as “Plyushka”. The danger was reported by the head of the Snihurivka City Military Administration, Oleksandr Pavlov.

“Pryanik” is a new Russian pressure-activated anti-personnel mine manufactured using 3D printing. It explodes from pressure when a person steps on it.

The mine has a plastic casing about 5-6 centimeters in diameter and externally resembles a puck. It is roughly half the size of the “Pelyustka” mine. For camouflage, the casing can be wrapped in camouflaged fabric.

Inside it contains about 30 grams of plastid. That amount of explosive is enough to cause severe injuries to a person, including the loss of a foot.

Russian forces drop such mines from drones onto roads, fields, roadsides, and yards.

If you discover a suspicious object, stop and do not approach it. Do not touch, move, or attempt to neutralize the find yourself, as it may explode from the slightest pressure.

Move away using the same tracks you used to approach. Do not use a mobile phone near an explosive item.

After moving to a safe distance, notify emergency services at numbers 101 or 102.
