ArmInfo. A truck has tripped an antitank mine in Martuni region of
Nagorno Karabakh.

As ArmInfo special correspondent in Stepanakert reports, the injured
person was immediately carried to Yerevan.

According to the employees of the HALO Trust British non-governmental
organization, specializing in mine clearing of the NKR territory, the
area, where the explosion happened, was surveyed, partially demined
and marked with the relevant signs several years ago. However, the
signs disappeared in the course of time. The HALO Trust demines first
of all the territories close to settlements.

According to some data, Nagorno Karabakh inherited over 100, 000 mines
and different kinds of shells from the war enforced by Azerbaijan.
