As noted, according to preliminary data, an extremely dangerous anti-personnel mine PFM-1 "Petal" was detonated. It is designed to hit the lower part of the leg.

The mine can be green or olive in color, which makes it very difficult to detect. A small force of several kilograms is enough to detonate it.
