This was reported by the Artsakh State Emergency Service.
As a result of the incident, T.H. sustained an injury to his right foot. Azerbaijani military personnel provided him with first aid, after which the search team transported him to the Stepanakert Republican Medical Center.
According to information received from doctors, his life is not in danger.
“This is, in fact, already the third such case during search and rescue operations following the ceasefire.
The first incident occurred in the Vorotan direction, where our colleagues from the Republic of Armenia stepped on a mine and were wounded, and the next involved rescue workers from the Martakert regional department in the Talish-Mataghis section. Fortunately, no fatalities have been recorded.
