The Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan stated on X that there is an urgent need for increased international support for comprehensive demining efforts, The Caspian Post reports.

The MFA said landmines continue to claim lives in Azerbaijan:

"On April 14, an employee of the Mine Action Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ANAMA) was killed after triggering an anti-tank landmine in the Fuzuli district, in the village of Ashaghy Abdurrahmanli. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, loved ones, and colleagues."

"This tragedy is a stark reminder of the continued human cost of landmines and the dangers faced every day by those working to make liberated areas safe. Since the end of the 2020 war, 422 Azerbaijanis have fallen victim to landmines," reads the statement by the MFA.
