“The mines planted by Armenia in our territories during the thirty years of occupation continue to pose a serious threat to the lives and health of civilians. As a result of the mine explosions that occurred on April 2, 2024, four civilians were injured. Since the Second Karabakh War, 350 Azerbaijanis have lost their lives or been injured due to mine explosions,” Sabina Aliyeva added.
