Around 16:30, while at the mine-laying line, the ammunition (about 200 TM-62P4 anti-tank mines with MVП-62M fuses) of the KAMAZ vehicle detonated, which occurred as a result of the container with mines being hit by a grenade launcher shot or an armor-piercing incendiary bullet fired by an unknown person.
