Ukraine: Russian soldiers clear mines at captured Azovstal steel plant

Watch the video: Russian soldiers begin clearing the captured Azov valley of mines.

Nothing but scrap metal and rubble seems to be left of the former Ukrainian steelworks Azovstal in Mariupol after weeks of siege. Russia said on Friday that the last Ukrainian fighters had surrendered. This development has not yet been confirmed. Russian soldiers searched the site Sunday for mines and booby traps placed by both Ukrainian and Russian troops. The mines should be blown up in a controlled manner. Roads and streets of the steel mill are cleared of rubble with bulldozers. “The task is huge, the enemy laid land mines and we laid anti-personnel mines to block them. So we have two weeks of hard work ahead of us.” “Over 100 explosive devices have been destroyed in the last two days. The work continues.” Until recently, the “Metallurgical Combine Azov-Stahl” was one of the largest metallurgical works in Europe.
