One serviceman has been killed and two wounded after presumably triggering a landmine near Avdiyivka, Donetsk Region, LB.ua has learned from troops.
One of the wounded servicemen is in grave condition.
They said something powerful went off near them, presumably a landmine.
Hostilities in the industrial zone of Avdiyivka escalated in early March.

The militants have since been trying to regain their positions.
