Nearly one-third of Ukraine's territory, approximately 174,000 square kilometers, has been mined since Russia began its all-out war against the country, threatening thousands of people with deaths or injuries, according to Ukrainian officials.

Two energy workers repairing electrical networks in Chernihiv Oblast’s settlement close to the border with Russia were wounded when their car hit an explosive device, Governor Viacheslav Chaus said on Telegram.

The Economy Ministry said on April 4 that mine-related explosions have killed almost 300 civilians and injured 665 others in Ukraine.
