a landmine explosion occurred today in the recently liberated Aghdam district, highlighting the ongoing risks posed by unexploded ordnance in formerly occupied areas, AzerNEWS reports.
The incident took place near the village of Yusifcanli, where local resident Ceyhun Firdovsi Abbasov, born on December 3, 1985, accidentally stepped on a landmine.
Immediately after the incident, personnel from the National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) were dispatched to the scene to provide urgent assistance and safely evacuate the injured individual from the hazardous area. The agency continues to stress the importance of mine awareness and caution in liberated territories, where many areas remain contaminated despite ongoing demining efforts.
