Mine explosion kills man loading hay in Armenia

Mine explosion kills man loading hay in Armenia

AP Worldstream; Sep 01, 2006

A man loading hay was killed when a mine exploded Friday, police said.

The explosion took place in a mountain pasture in eastern region of Lake
Sevan, police said.

One man was killed, and his co-worker was injured in the blast, police said.

Eastern Armenia was littered with an estimated 100,000 land mines in the
early 1990s in connection with the war over Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly
ethnic Armenian region of Azerbaijan.

In August, fires caused scores of mines to detonate in two parts of the
country, though no injuries were reported in those blasts.
