As a result of [the damages] the mine Shcheglovskaya-Glubokaya in Makiivka was totally de-energized and 126 miners have been blocked under the ground," Basurin told journalists.
Earlier in the day, Basurin said that one DPR soldier had been killed and one more injured as a result of the land mine explosion hitting a car. The eastern Ukrainian region of Donbas does not acknowledge the legitimacy of a February 2014 coup in Ukraine.
