TL;DR Summary

Russia has developed a new tactic in the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, making it even more dangerous for Ukrainian soldiers to clear minefields. Russian forces are using drones to drop grenades and ignite flammable agents, creating a "sea of fire and explosions." The dense minefields and fortifications have slowed down Ukraine's counteroffensive, forcing them to adopt a slow and methodical approach. Ukrainian officials estimate that Russia has planted up to five mines per square meter in the south, making it a challenging task to clear them. Despite some progress, Ukrainian troops are expected to encounter more minefields as they push forward against Russian defenses.
