Fatal Explosion at Armenian Military Training Ground Results in Soldier's Death
A contract soldier was killed and another injured in an explosion at a military training ground in Armenia's Armavir region. This incident raises concerns over the rising trend of non-combat military casualties, which have reportedly reached 90% among Armenian military deaths.

An explosion at a military training ground in the Baghramyan community of Armenia's Armavir region resulted in the death of a 29-year-old contract soldier and injuries to a 39-year-old soldier, who has since been hospitalized. A criminal case has been initiated under Armenian law for negligence and violation of weapon handling rules.
Human rights activists have noted that non-combat military fatalities have surged, prompting calls for government intervention to address military safety and prevent crimes and suicides among soldiers. The Armenian authorities face ongoing scrutiny regarding the management of military personnel, as concerns about systemic issues and hazing within the armed forces persist.
