Baku, Azerbaijan, April 1. The Azerbaijani
National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) discovered an improvised
explosive device in one of the abandoned residential houses in
Bulutan village of the Khojavand district of Azerbaijan during the
operation conducted at the request of the Ministry of Internal
Affairs, ANAMA told Trend.
The homemade explosive device was found to be a trap, where a
PG-7L rocket was attached to 105 rounds of ammunition with tape,
and a hand grenade detonator was used to trigger the device. To
divert attention, numerous photographs were scattered around the
explosive device in a way that would activate the mechanism upon
contact with one of them.
The explosive device was safely removed from the area by agency
personnel. Such trap devices are typically placed in residential
areas to cause powerful and deadly explosions.
ANAMA once again urges citizens not to enter areas where their
safety is uncertain, not to touch unfamiliar objects, and to
immediately report any suspicious items by calling hotlines 805,
102, or 112.
