PanARMENIAN.Net - On May 31, ZIL cargo truck was blown up by an anti tank mine in NKR.

The HALO Trust Organization representatives declared that the territory was inspected several years ago, and warning signs were put up in all appropriate places. Strangely, the signs have been removed, which caused the accident.

The HALO Trust representatives declared that clearing of minefields is being conducted; the organization asks NKR population to not remove the warning signs.

The HALO Trust Organization, specializing in the removal of the hazardous debris of war, has been in charge of mine clearing on NKR territories since 2000, The HALO Trust Stepanakert Office Manager Valon Kumuva told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

This has been the second incident since the beginning of 2009. The truck driver was injured and immediately taken to Yerevan hospital.
