The Azerbaijani army's engineer-sapper units have defused booby
traps planted by Armenian military groups in Khojaly District,
Azernews reports, citing the Defense Ministry.
“Five booby traps consisting of Armenian-made PMN-E
anti-personnel mines and laid by Armenian military formations in
the direction of Khojaly District were detected,” the ministry
said.
The engineer sapper units removed, transported, and defused the
detected mines in line with safety requirements, it added.
The demining of the liberated territories is being carried out
by the engineer-sapper units, the ministry stressed.
Similarly, 90 E-001 M type anti-personnel mines, made in Armenia
in 2021, were found and neutralized in the ravine gap of the Boyuk
Ishigli Mount in Lachin District on September 20 as a result of
demining activities carried out by the sappers.
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.
