A booby-trapped cache with foreign weapons, prepared by Ukrainian troops during the retreat, was found in the DPR. The cache contained nine AK-74 and AK-12 Kalashnikov assault rifles, one Israeli-made RGW-90 hand-held anti-tank grenade launcher (RPG), two British-made ASM L1A1 RPGs, two American-made M136a1 RPGs and four Swedish-made RSV M4740 RPGs. Due to the presence of signs of mining of the cache, the FSB specialists decided to destroy the weapons on site with overhead charges.
