Baku, July 14, AssA-Irada — The Azerbaijan National Agency for
Mine Action (ANAMA) has rendered harmless three mines in the Hasanli
village of western Terter District during the clearance operations
in the area around the Khachin River. These included two anti-tank
and an infantry mine, which brings the number of mines found in these
territories over the past 20 days to five, ANAMA told AssA-Irada.

Most of the explosives are tossed by Armenians into the river to
deliver them to Azerbaijani territories.

The head of the Terter executive authority civil defense headquarters,
Ilgar Musayev, says mostly up-to-date mines are planted close to
electricity lines and arable areas.*
