As Po's group was withdrawing from Lublin with the clock ticking on the bomb, a Spetznaz team that had been tracking them for weeks gave chase. There was a running gunfight, but the Spetznaz unit didn't know that a nuke was about to go off. The PCs were of course extremely keen to put as much distance as they could between themselves and Lublin, and they knew exactly what time the detonation would occur. So they mostly ran for it (normally I reckon they would have stood their ground and duked out out).

When the timer hit zero, the PCs were all huddled in a ditch. They were somewhat protected from the blast wave, but they all soaked up some rads. The Spetznaz unit were out in the open and several hundred metres closer to the detonation. Any survivors gave up the chase after that.
