Mine explosion kills 7 Iranians along border with Iraq: report

TEHRAN, June 18 (MNA) – The Iraqi Kurdish forces spokesman has claimed that seven Iranian soldiers were killed when they strayed into a minefield laid along Iran’s border with Iraq’s Kurdish region.

Jabar Yawar told Reuters on Thursday the Iranian troops were new to the area and had accidentally entered a minefield.

However, Iran’s consul-general in Arbil, the capital of Kurdistan region, said he was not aware of the incident.
