A woman was killed, and another was seriously injured in the governorate of Kasserine, in central western Tunisia, after a landmine exploded in a restricted military zone in a mountain.

The regional director of health in the governorate, Abdelghani Chaabani, confirmed in a press statement that the victim had previously been exposed to another mine explosion that led to the amputation of her leg, noting that the health condition of the other injured woman is critical.

The Tunisian Ministry of Defense has issued repeated warnings about the risks of infiltrating restricted military zones in the west of the country, in order to avoid the danger of mines planted by terrorist groups.

The first landmine explosion in Kasserine occurred on April 29, 2013, targeting soldiers during a combing operation in the Kasserine Mountains in search of terrorist elements who entered from the Algerian border after 2011.
