Eroded human remains and fragments of presumably female clothing have been discovered in Kalbajar District’s Zallar village on October 27, Azernews reports, citing the Military Prosecutor’s Office.

During the forensic inspection, the site was examined; unearthed bones of the human skeleton and items of clothing were then seized for expertise.

Presumably, the discovered findings belonged to a person, who was captured and tortured to death during Armenia’s occupation of the Kalbajar District.

The investigation into the case is underway.

Previously, mass graves have been discovered in the liberated lands, including in Shusha's Dashalti, Khojavand's Edilli, Aghdam's Sirxavand, Khojaly's Farrux villages.

Remains, found in a burial in Khojavand’s Edilli village, belonged to Azerbaijani servicemen, Azernews reported, citing the head of the medical forensics department of the Association of Forensic Medical Examination and Pathological Anatomy, Nurana Huseynova.

About 4,000 Azerbaijanis went missing as a result of the first Karabakh war. It is believed that the vast majority of them were systematically killed and buried in mass graves.
