operations, stressing the ongoing humanitarian risks posed by
landmines in liberated territories, the publication of the
Azerbaijani MFA on X says, Trend reports.
"On April 14, an employee of the Mine Action Agency of the
Republic of Azerbaijan (ANAMA) was killed after triggering an
anti-tank landmine in the Fuzuli district, in the village of
Ashaghy Abdurrahmanli.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones,
and colleagues.
This tragedy is a stark reminder of the continued human cost of
landmines and the dangers faced every day by those working to make
liberated areas safe. Since the end of the 2020 war, 422
Azerbaijanis have fallen victim to landmines. There is an urgent
need for enhanced international support for comprehensive demining
efforts," the post said.
