The driver told the passengers that they will have to spend the night in the field. The bust remained on the road for about two hours, and then they saw that a car, which also was not allowed to pass through the block-post, was trying to bypass it over the field. The bus driver followed the car, they drove for a couple of dozen meters and then the explosion sounded: the bus tripped on a mine. The wounded told the journalist that each of them had a special permit allowing them to pass to the ATO zone, but it was too late, and that was why they weren’t allowed to pass to Gorlovka”, the correspondent said. “The wounded also said that there was no mortar-gun shelling reported by the Interior Ministry workers”, the correspondent stated.
