    Mines in Upland Karabakh kill ten this year

    The HALO Trust, a British humanitarian organization, reports that 31
    people, including three children, were injured by antipersonnel and
    anti-tank mines this year in Upland Karabakh. Of these, ten people,
    including one child, died as a result of their injuries.
    The Trust told news agency Mediamax that the accidents were a result
    of the activization of agricultural works and non-observance of
    safety rules, Prime News reports. It states that it intends to expand
    its project to inform the population about the danger of mines, and
    notes that there have been fewer accidents involving children since
    the NGO began working to inform school children of the danger
    eighteen months ago.
