"Landmines continue to claim lives in Azerbaijan. Today, an employee of the Mine Action Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ANAMA) was seriously injured by a landmine explosion on the border with Armenia. Only since the end of 44-days War of 2020, 412 people have fallen victim to landmine explosions," the MFA said on X.
This humanitarian tragedy that target civilians, impedes reconstruction, and obstructs safe return is a grave violation of international humanitarian law, said the foreign ministry.
"This also highlights the urgent need for accelerated, international support for comprehensive de-mining operations," the MFA concluded.
