"On March 16, in the suburb of Tsentaroy village, Kurchaloy District, servicemen of the engineering-sapper subdivision of the Internal Troops of Russian MIA were demining the territory. In the course of the works, a large calibre mortar land mine blew up," said a source from the Office.

This is already the third case, when people have blown themselves by bombs and other ordnances in the Chechen Republic within the last week.
