In September 2006, a 3-man reconnaissance team from Pallas set out from their outpost, overlooking the Kajaki Dam in southern Afghanistan. They were going to participate in the fight against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda. As they crossed a dry riverbed, one of them unfortunately stepped on a landmine, which had actually been left behind during the Russian occupation about 25 years ago. His comrades rushed to his side, only to find themselves surrounded by an indeterminate number of landmines, with every step they took potentially leading to serious injury or even death.
