YEREVAN, JUNE 22, ARMENPRESS; Two servicemen in a military unit in
the southern province of Syunik were hit by fragments of a mine that
exploded on June 21.

The 20 year-old servicemen, one from Yerevan, and the other from
Tavush province, were taken to hospital, where the doctors had to
amputate the foot of one of the soldiers.

The other soldier did not sustain serious wounds and was soon
discharged. There is no yet exact information about the cause of the
incident but most likely one of the servicemen hit against the mine
that had been planted in the earth near the village of Pelasar in
early 90-s.
