Special Forces fighters of the “Viking” unit of the Russian Armed Forces, during the clearance of residential quarters in Avdiivka, discovered positions of Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) mortar, from which the military shelled the neighboring satellite city of Donetsk – Yasinovataya. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
A special forces soldier showed a video that captured the fact that the mortar position was equipped on the territory of a residential house. Ammunition was found nearby.
Prior to this, during the clearance of the city of Avdiivka, the unit discovered abandoned UAF mines and grenades of US production in several private houses. One of the representatives of the “Viking” unit stated that Russian fighters found, for example, directional action mines, which were once made by the Soviet MON-50.
The special forces soldier admitted that it is currently difficult to determine exactly where the found ammunition was made. He speculated that they were either made under contract in NATO countries or directly in the United States.
Earlier, the head of Ukrainian intelligence, Kirill Budanov, acknowledged the difficult situation on the front line.
