RUSSIAN sappers have completed a demining operation in the Kamenka village of Izyumsky district in Kharkiv region.

“Before the retreat, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine mined the streets and roads in the vicinity of the village. Russian sappers found artillery and tank shells, anti-personnel and anti-tank mines, including foreign-made ones,” the ministry said in a statement.
