The bomb explosion killed a 37-year-old citizen in Sarpol Zahab
10:23 - 18 March 2020
On Monday, March 16th, a Kurdish citizen, Keyvan Azami, 37, from the village of Kohlineh, died in Sarpol Zahab due to the severity of the mortar blast caused by the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq.
In this incident, which took place on Sunday, March 15th, this Kurdish citizen was seriously injured and due to severe injury died in hospital.
More than three decades after the end of the eight-year war between Iran and Iraq, mine-affected areas and war munitions continue to be victimized in Kurdistan, and the Iranian government has so far failed to provide funding to clear mine-affected areas and war munitions in Kurdistan.
