Russian troops confiscate Ukrainian drone-delivered food in occupied Oleshky as civilians injured by mines while fleeing, officials say
Four people were attempting to leave the town when they stepped on a mine and were injured, while a man collecting nuts was killed by another mine, the local military administration said.
On September 30, the local military administration head in Oleshky reported that Russian troops confiscated food delivered by Ukrainian military drones and injured civilians by landmines. Four people were injured and one was killed by the mines while attempting to leave the town. The hospital in Oleshky, struggling to function without basic medical supplies, reported that they were only able to stop bleeding due to lack of medicines.
Ukrainian forces had dropped food several times, but Russian troops had taken some of the deliveries and questioned residents for possessing non-Russian products. The town, under Russian occupation since the start of the invasion, faces severe shortages of food, water, and electricity, making safe evacuation impossible.
