Russian military forces are actively mining agricultural lands in the temporarily occupied Kherson region to maintain control over the seized territories, reports the National Resistance Center (NRC).

It is noted that to maintain control over the annexed territories, the enemy is increasing the area of minefields by mining agricultural lands, including on personal land plots.

"Such actions once again endanger the lives of civilians, including the movement of special equipment such as combine harvesters for field processing," the report said.

Situation in the occupied territories

In the occupied territories, the aggressors are resettling Russian military personnel and families of workers from the Russian Federation into the homes of Ukrainians. Specifically, the occupiers are seizing housing from deported Ukrainian citizens.

Additionally, Russians are evicting residents to settle in their homes. In Brylivka, Kherson region, the occupiers evicted residents from their homes near the railway station to prevent locals from informing the Armed Forces of Ukraine about the movement of the aggressors' vehicles.

Furthermore, Russia is preparing to evacuate Ukrainian children from the occupied territories for recuperation.
