Mines laid by Armenians during recent military escalation discovered

Baku/17.09.22/Turan: The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan announced the discovery of mines laid by sabotage groups of the Armenian armed forces during the recent military escalation at the border.

“The Azerbaijan Army’s engineer-sapper units are clearing the territories and supply roads between the positions of the Azerbaijan Army Units, which were mined by the opposing side’s sabotage groups in different directions. The sabotage groups of the opposing side took advantage of the mountainous terrain of the area and the existing ravine gaps at nighttime and mined these territories during a large-scale provocation committed by the Armenian armed forces on the night of September 12 in the Kalbajar, Lachin, and Dashkasan regions.

As a result of demining activities conducted in the area, 100 Armenian-made PMN-E anti-personnel mines, 8 PMN-2 anti-personnel mines, and 10 anti-tank mines were detected and neutralized.

Necessary activities on engineering support are underway. The Ministry of Defense distributed photos and videos about the discovered mines. --06B--
