    Mine explosion kills man loading hay in Armenia

    AP Worldstream; Sep 01, 2006

    A man loading hay was killed when a mine exploded Friday, police said.

    The explosion took place in a mountain pasture in eastern region of Lake
    Sevan, police said.

    One man was killed, and his co-worker was injured in the blast, police said.

    Eastern Armenia was littered with an estimated 100,000 land mines in the
    early 1990s in connection with the war over Nagorno-Karabakh, a predominantly
    ethnic Armenian region of Azerbaijan.

    In August, fires caused scores of mines to detonate in two parts of the
    country, though no injuries were reported in those blasts.
