A villager was blown up by a mine in Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijani residents, both military and civilians, regularly suffer from mine and other munition explosions in the former Karabakh conflict zone. On June 30, a police officer was killed by a mine in the Agdam region. His right leg was amputated. The press services of the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Prosecutor General's Office, and the Azerbaijani Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) reported that a mine exploded in the village of Mirashelli in the Agdam region on September 23, 2025. A resident of the village of Baharly, Sayyaf Figan oglu Akhmedov, born in 1971, died as a result of a mine explosion in an uncleared area of the village cemetery, apa.az reports.

It is noted that Akhmedov was a reserve warrant officer, served as a reconnaissance officer and was known by the nickname "Scout Khany," media.az clarifies.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported on April 6 that the death toll from mine explosions following the 44-day 2020 war in Karabakh had reached 392. In August 2023, Azerbaijani public organizations appealed to the UN and the European Union with a request to help resolve the problem of demining the country's territories. In May 2024, the European Union, which had allocated 10 million euros to Azerbaijan for mine clearance since 2020, agreed to increase its financial assistance to Baku for mine clearance in the former Karabakh conflict zone to 14 million euros.
