Inwoner van Michailivka gedood door boobytrap

Twee inwoners van het dorp Michailivka zijn gisteren op een boobytrap gestuit. Eén van hen werd gedood, de ander raakte gewond. Een boobytrap is een struikeldraad, verbonden met een explosief. Het nieuws is naar buiten gebracht door het Oekraïense leger dat de pro-Russische rebellen er van beschuldigt dit soort explosieven aan te brengen om daar vervolgens sabotage-eenheden van het leger de schuld van te geven. Michailivka ligt in het door de separatisten bezette deel van de provincie Loehansk.
