Speaking to IRNA, Naser Yusefi said the accident happened on Friday in Kani Zard and the individual lost his leg.

He added that the injured person was transferred to hospital and is now under medical care.

During the war imposed by Iraq on Iran, 16 million landmines were planted in over 4,200,000 hectare of lands in the Iranian provinces bordering Iraq by the army of the former Iraqi regime.
