The Azerbaijani Mine Action Agency (ANAMA) defused 189 mines and
unexploded ordnance in the liberated territories from September
5-10, Azernews reports, citing the agency.
During the demining operations, the agency discovered 49
anti-personnel, 20 anti-tank mines, and 120 unexploded ordnances in
Tartar, Aghdam, Fuzuli, Shusha, Gubadli, Jabrayil, and Zangilan
districts, the report added.
A 457-hectare-area was cleared of mines and unexploded ordnances
during the reported period.
Meanwhile, the Lachin District Police Department is taking
intensive measures to search for weapons and explosives in the
city, which has recently come under the control of the Azerbaijani
army.
According to the Interior Ministry's Barda regional press
service, as a result of the measures taken by the Lachin District
Police Department employees, an unexploded shell was found in the
city and handed over to the relevant agencies.
Despite the fact that about 21 months have passed since the
44-day war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the latter's land mines
continue to endanger human lives in the liberated lands.
Armenia spared no effort to plant land mines on Azerbaijani
territory, not only during the 30 years of occupation but also just
before days of leaving Azerbaijani lands as envisaged in the
trilateral statement in order to cause human casualties.
Rarely a day goes by without news of civilians or military
personnel being injured or killed as a result of mine explosions in
Azerbaijan's liberated lands.
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.
