Azerbaijan urges international action to address mine threat

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has issued a call for the international community to join efforts in eliminating the mine threat within the country.

This appeal was conveyed via a publication on the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry's social media platform X, as per Report.

"Armenia-planted landmines continue to kill and maim Azerbaijanis in recently liberated territories. Today, ANAMA's 27-year-old employee was severely injured and his foot was amputated as a result of a landmine explosion in Sirkhavand village. Despite extensive efforts, demining operations face many challenges due to Armenia’s refusal to hand over accurate maps displaying the locations of the landmines. The international community should mobilize efforts to eliminate the landmine threat in Azerbaijan!" the post reads.
