On November 17, a man was struck by a mine in the village of Bala Jafarli in the Gazakh District. According to the Azerbaijan Mine Action Agency (ANAMA), 37-year-old ANAMA employee Samir Mubariz oglu Imamverdiyev was injured in the incident, Oxu.az reports.

The victim was taken to the district central hospital, where his right leg was amputated at the ankle. His condition is currently satisfactory, and there is no threat to his life, Meydan.TV reports.

The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry reported in April 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 to help resolve the problem with demining the country's territories. In May 2024, the European Union, which had allocated 10 million euros to Azerbaijan for demining since 2020, agreed to increase its financial assistance to Baku for demining the former Karabakh conflict zone to 14 million euros.
