Im just glad she died. Imagine surviving that and then having to live through the recovery and the rest of your miserable life.

The area, which borders Venezuela, has been the scene of an ongoing period of violence between militia groups since 2018, in an extension of the war on drugs.

That's taking one for the team.

Did she step on an anti tank mine?
They've been kind with the plastic ankle biters in Ukraine I suppose..

Dang... a mine is a terrible thing to waste...

That was WAAAYYYY more than a, "Toe Popper".

I guess they can all mark themselves, "Safe" on their Facebook after having that many feet searching for further mines unsuccessfully...

that was one hell of a mine... I am no expert but most other injuries from AP mines I have seen online were limbs lost, usually leg/legs or feet. This lady lost everything but center mass. Maybe she was a lightweight with a direct hit? I was thinking maybe improvised explosive and not actual mine, and maybe they gave it a little more oomph than usual? Her partner lived but I wonder if they were walking close together looking for cell signal.. Hmm? RIP Terrible twist of fate for an innocent soul in war ravaged area. At least it was mercifully quick
