Four Azerbaijani soldiers were injured in a mine explosion

The Defense Ministry stated that there is no threat to the lives of those injured in the truck explosion.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, on June 30 in the Agdam region a policeman was blown up by a mine, his right leg was amputated.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry reported on the explosion of a truck with military personnel that occurred yesterday. "On August 5, while carrying out a supply mission in the Kalbajar region, a military truck was blown up by a mine planted by the Armenian armed forces," the ministry said in a statement.

The wounded were evacuated to the nearest medical facility. There is no threat to their lives, the Defense Ministry claims.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on April 6 that the death toll from mine explosions after the 44-day war in Karabakh in 2020 had reached 392. In August 2023, Azerbaijani public organizations appealed to the UN and the European Union with a request to help resolve the problem with demining the country's territories. In May 2024, the European Union, which has allocated 10 million euros to Azerbaijan for mine clearance since 2020, agreed to increase its financial assistance to Baku for mine clearance in the former Karabakh conflict zone to 14 million euros.
