Three employees of a demining company were seriously injured in
a landmine blast in the liberated Fuzuli District on the morning of
August 2, the district prosecutor's office told Azernews.
Thus, Yadigar Shukurov, 1990, Rovshan Alizada, 1991, and Gilman
Huseynov, 1976, hit an anti-personnel mine while carrying out
demining work.
As a result of the blast, Shukurov and Alizada received bodily
injuries of varying severity. Huseynov's right leg was amputated in
the hospital.
Employees of the prosecutor's office examined the scene, a
forensic medical examination was appointed, and other procedural
actions were performed. The prosecutor's office of the Fuzuli
district is investigating the case.
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.
Previously, on June 12, Azerbaijan handed over 15 Armenian
prisoners in exchange for a map detailing the location of 97,000
mines in formerly-occupied Aghdam.
On July 3, Armenia submitted to Azerbaijan maps of about 92,000
anti-tank and anti-personnel mines planted during the occupation of
Fuzuli and Zangilan districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Russian-brokered peace agreement
on November 10, 2020, to end the 44-day fighting in Karabakh and
work toward a comprehensive peace deal.
