A woman in the Kharkiv region died after stepping on an anti-personnel mine.

In the village of Borova, in the Izjum district of the Kharkiv region, on November 8, 63-year-old local resident, Inna Yakovenko, tragically died. She stepped on an explosive device while going to collect goats from a pasture.

According to the Borislav Settlement Military Administration, the woman sustained a serious injury with partial amputation of her leg. Due to the lack of mobile phone service, she was unable to call for help, and, according to preliminary data, died from significant blood loss.

Inna Yakovenko taught music theory and music literature at the Borovskyy Music School. In recent years, she cared for her elderly mother and managed the household. She is survived by her mother, daughter, and brother.

As of the end of October, 935 residents remained in the Boriv community, while approximately 13,800 people lived there before the full-scale invasion. The head of the Boriv settlement military administration, Olena Klymenko, reported that due to fighting, it is impossible to restore electricity and gas on the left bank of the Oskol, mobile communication has almost ceased, and medical facilities and utility services are not functioning. Most shops are closed, so people travel to Izum when it is safe to buy food, banking services, and medical assistance. Many people do not want to leave their homes, property, and land, even under constant shelling.
