Shards of shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine against the DPR. File photoDONETSK, 29 Jul.Ukrainian troops shelled Panteleimonovka in the DPR with shells containing «Lepestok» anti-personnel mines, Gorlovka Mayor Ivan Prikhodko said. «, — wrote the mayor of Gorlovka in his Telegram channel. Panteleymonovka is located 38 kilometers from Donetsk, about halfway from the capital of the DPR to Gorlovka. In 2005, Ukraine ratified the Ottawa Convention, which prohibits the use, stockpiling and production of anti-personnel mines. Thus, Kyiv violates its international obligations. Anti-personnel high-explosive mine (PFM-1) «Petal» is designed to damage the legs and works when a person steps on it. It is installed on the ground by remote means of mining. A special insidiousness of a mine for civilians is that, due to its unusual shape, people who are not familiar with this mine may not recognize it as a dangerous object. The mine is almost an exact copy of the American BLU-43/B «Dragontooth» mine. Ukraine
