Yesterday (11 August), the self-styled State Emergency Service of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) reported that three deminers were injured when a cluster bomb exploded. News.am reports that the sappers were carrying out engineering research in the territory of the Nor Shen community in the Martuni province of Nagorno-Karabakh, when the cluster bomb detonated.
Two of the sappers are reported to be in ‘moderate’ and ‘critical’ condition by News.am, which claims to be in contact with the self-styled Ministry of Health of the de facto NKR. They remain in an intensive care unit having undergone surgery yesterday. The condition of the third is reported to be good; however, he cannot yet be discharged from the hospital.
