Speaking of Chernobyl: >>Russian troops laid landmines at the Chernobyl power plant as they retreated, a Ukrainian official has said.

Maksym Shevchuk, deputy head of Ukraine’s State Agency for Exclusion Zone Management (DAZN), told The i: “Our sappers are now working on the de-mining of key locations and checking everything it is possible to check.”

He added that “for now people are using only well-known routes and asphalt roads” so as to avoid any hidden explosives planted across the site.

Russians scrawled warnings across the exclusion zone, warning: “This passage is mined” and “expect a surprise, look for a mine”, according to footage released by Ukrainian Witness media group.<< https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/russian-troops-landmines-chernobyl-ukraine-war-b993622.html

Which could also mean it's not mined but they want the Ukrainian army to dig in the radioactive dirt.
