A GAZ-66 truck was blown up on an anti-tank mine in Fuzuli District's
village of Qazaxlar, which is near the Iranian border, on the night of
13-14 May at about 0100 (2000 gmt, 13 May). Three of the six people
in the vehicle died and three others were wounded, the Azerbaijani
National Agency for Mine Action has said.
ANS's Karabakh bureau reports that the truck was carrying border
troops. The explosion occurred on the territory of the 35th border
post, which is 300 meters away from residential areas.
Military operations were under way in the area during the first
Nagornyy Karabakh war (as heard). The Armenians invaded the village
in October 1993. The Azerbaijani army retook it in January 1994. The
place is two kilometres away from the front line today.
