As a result of another landmine explosion 2 Azerbaijani citizens were severely injured. Since the 2020-war, 4⃣3⃣3⃣ people have became a victim of landmine contamination by #Armenia. This tragedy is a stark reminder of the continued human cost of landmines and the dangers faced every day by innocent people. There is an urgent need for enhanced international support for comprehensive demining efforts. A mine-free future is essential for sustainable peace, development, and human security.
