Three anti-tank mines have been found in Lachin District’s
Khochaz village.
Azernews reports, referring to the press service of the
Azerbaijan Ministry of Internal Affairs that 3 anti-tank mines
discovered in the territory of Hochaz village in Lachin district
were handed over by the staff of the district police
department.
The landmine contamination of the liberated territories remains
a topical issue for Azerbaijan. Just yesterday, a military
serviceman was killed by a landmine blast.
Since the end of 2020-war, some 288 people have become victims
of landmine explosions, of whom 50 have died during the 44-day
Patriotic War.
Armenia deliberately and constantly planted mines on Azerbaijani
territories, in violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention, thereby
being a major threat to regional peace, security, and
cooperation.
