BAKU: (HRNW) Four Azeri civilians died Saturday after their car hit a landmine planted by retreating Armenian soldiers in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, Azerbaijan’s prosecutor general said.
The incident occurred in a village in Fizuli district, a statement said.
“The mine was planted by the Armenian armed forces during their retreat,” the statement said, adding that it was an anti-tank mine.
The statement called the incident a “new type of provocation” from Armenia.
Running along the border with Iran, Fizuli was among the districts claimed by Armenian fighters in a 1990s war that saw separatists declare independence over the Nagorno-Karabakh region and several surrounding territories.
