High-explosive anti-personnel mines (PFM-1) «Petal». File photoDONETSK, Aug 3 Four people were injured in the DPR during Wednesday by PMF-1 «Lepestok» mines dropped on the territory of the republic by Ukrainian troops, the headquarters of the territorial defense of the DPR said in a statement. «During the day in the Donetsk People's Republic, 4 people were injured by stepping on a forbidden PFM-1 mine dropped by Kyiv militants,» the headquarters said. The Petal anti-personnel high-explosive mine (PFM-1) 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.
