Blast kills two in rural Azerbaijan
Two people were killed in an explosion that took
place at a military training ground in Azerbaijan’s Absheron
district.
According to the local law enforcement agencies, the incident was reported on Monday night near a farm located in the Chayly village. A 45-year-old resident of the northern Guba district and his 11-year-old son found an explosive while grazing cattle. The explosive blew suddenly, killing both.
Investigators of the Absheron prosecutor’s office have established that the explosive was a fuse of an anti-tank mine. Two days prior to the blast, Azerbaijani servicemen conducted military exercises in the area. Presumably, the explosive remained there since then.*
