Recall that by agreement of the three parties, the Armenian troops must leave the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions by November 25.
Earlier it was reported about the transfer of Russian engineering and sapper units to Karabakh. Today's incident with a mine explosion suggests that there is a lot of work for sappers in Karabakh.
It is not reported who exactly could have installed the mine in the Madagiz area and when the installation was carried out.
