"Landmines are not just remnants of the past — they are an ongoing danger to both humans and animals," Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan and Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs, wrote on X platform, APA reports.
"In the mountains of Kalbajar, this time a dog has become a victim of anti-personnel landmine planted by Armenia during the period of occupation.
Thankfully, quick intervention by Azerbaijani military medical team ensured that she received immediate medical assistance. Her life is no longer in danger.
Since 2020 more than 400 Azerbaijani civilians and militaries alike have become victims of landmines infested by Armenia.
Remain buried underground for years, landmines cause soil erosion and destroy native vegetation as well," Hajiyev noted.
