A series of landmine explosions across Ukraine on 15 October led to child casualties, underscoring the lingering dangers of unexploded ordnance in several oblasts of the country.

In the Mykolaiv Oblast, a 14-year-old boy was killed and his 12-year-old friend injured when they triggered a mine blast while playing in a field near their village, Ukraine’s Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko reported. He said the children were in an area that saw heavy fighting earlier in the war.
