Two Azerbaijani journalists and a regional official died Friday in a landmine explosion in the Kalbajar district that was recaptured from Armenian separatists during last year's war over Nagorno-Karabakh, officials said. "On June 4, at around 11:00 (0700 GMT), a truck was blown up by an anti-tank mine in the village of Susuzlug in the Kalbajar district, killing three civilians," Azerbaijan's interior ministry and the office of the prosecutor general said in a statement. The statement identified the victims as journalists working for state-run AzTV station and AzerTag state news agency, as well as a local official. It said four more people were wounded. Fighting broke out between Azerbaijan and Armenia in September last year over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region and claimed some 6,000 lives over six weeks. The war ended with a Russian-brokered ceasefire that saw Yerevan cede swathes of territory it had controlled for decades, including the Kalbajar district. Seven Azerbaijani troops and 15 civilians have died in landmine explosions in and near Nagorno-Karabakh since the ceasefire, the Azerbaijani government has said. Nagorno-Karabakh is one of the most heavily mined regions in the former Soviet Union. Both Azerbaijani and Armenian forces used the weapons during a bloody conflict in the early 1990s. eg-im/jbr/wdb
