Russian troops were blown up by their own mines while responding to a fake call from pro-Ukrainian partisans early Monday morning, according to Mariupol officials.
The deaths come after more than six months of fighting as Ukraine continues to defend itself against the invasion that was launched by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 24. Putin claimed the invasion was to "liberate" the separatist Donbas region from Ukrainian control. The invasion has been met with worldwide condemnation over skepticism over the justification, concerns about Ukrainian sovereignty, and reports of human-rights abuses from Russian soldiers.
Despite Moscow having one of the world's largest armies, it has largely failed to achieve its major goals in Ukraine, who have offered a spirited defense. Ukraine continues to fight back against Putin's military, including in places Russia successfully took earlier in the war such as Kherson, where Ukraine launched a counteroffensive on Monday—and Mariupol.
At about 2 a.m. Monday morning, a group of Russian troops on patrol in Mariupol received reports that "Azov" fighters were hiding inside a home on the outskirts of the city, the Mariupol mayor's office wrote in a Telegram post.
Mariupol, a city in southeast Ukraine, saw weeks of intense fighting throughout the war as both countries fought for control over the port city that is also home to the Azovstal steel plant. The Azov Regiment, which fought to keep the city in Ukrainian hands, has been labeled a terrorist organization by the Kremlin—making any lingering soldiers in Mariupol a target for Russian forces.
