Civilians near Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine are discovering a new threat: munitions that eject up to two dozen small mines that explode at intervals.
The sophisticated POM-3 mine was discovered last week by Ukrainian bomb technicians, as Russia contaminates much of the country with unexploded munitions.
Ukrainian families are taking enormous risks to try to flee Mariupol, traveling through Russian checkpoints — and in some cases land mines — to try to get to safety.
