Ukraine deploying drone-dropped magnetic mines disguised as wooden tree stumps

Published 25 August 2026

A Colonel Cassad alert warns of a new Ukrainian munition type reported in rear areas of Zaporizhzhia Oblast: mines shaped and camouflaged as ordinary wooden stumps, dropped by UAV along roads, paths and treelines where they are nearly invisible. An internal magnetic-field fuze detonates the device when a vehicle, motorcycle or person carrying metal objects approaches.
