The victim was told to get a marking stick by his supervisor. While he was doing so, he stood on the "booster" of a PMN-2 that had been "destroyed" on 20th December 1996. The "booster" had lain hidden in a clump of grass 2m (or 4m on an attached sketch-map) from where the mine was "destroyed". The "booster" left a crater of 10cm diameter x 5cm deep.

The victim was a deminer and had just investigated a detector reading and found a fragment when the accident occurred. Without rechecking the area with his detector, he advanced and stepped on a Gyata-64. His foot was blown off but he had no other significant injuries.

There was a path running along one side of the area and the two Team Leaders disagreed over whether the path had been inside or outside of the original marked area. They finally decided that it had been …

The two men were close to the detonation and both suffered severe hand injury so a handling accident is inferred. Light face injuries including eye "burns" imply that their safety spectacles were not worn.
