On 15/11, Russian media released a video showing a pig unexpectedly saving two Russian assault soldiers. As the soldiers advanced across an open yard near rubble, the pig, startled, ran into an antipersonnel mine. The mine, reportedly planted by Ukrainian forces during their retreat, detonated just steps from the lead soldier.
The explosion seemingly injured the pig. The soldiers immediately changed direction, moving close to a fence on the left to avoid the mined area. The pig continued to flee; its fate remains unknown.
The video does not specify the time or location of the incident.
Russia's military has recently made advances on various fronts. These include encircling the strategic city of Kupyansk in Kharkov province, controlling most of the stronghold of Pokrovsk, and tightening the encirclement around the nearby city of Mirnograd in Donetsk province.
On 15/11, Russia's Defense Ministry announced the Eastern Group of Forces had gained full control of Yablokovo village in Zaporizhzhia province. This marks the 9th settlement captured by these forces since the beginning of the month.
