Ukrainian servicemen have found dead five men dressed in camouflage uniforms of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) in Stanytsia Luhanska district of Luhansk region. The men died in a mine explosion, the representative of the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) in Luhansk region Ruslan Tkachuk wrote on his official website on Monday.
He said the bodies were found on the bank of the Siversky Donets River on Sunday; the men were carrying no identification and it was impossible to establish their age. Automatic weapons with cartridge clips were found near the bodies. The men died about two weeks ago.
Ukrainian servicemen think that the group had attempted an incursion into Kyiv-controlled territory and were killed in a mine explosion.
