""While these land mines are meant to target armored vehicles, they can still be extremely dangerous to civilians," said Brian Castner, a weapons investigator with Amnesty International."
"In a Telegram post Thursday, the Iranian State News Agency said at least one person had been killed and others injured as a result of the 'explosive packages that resemble cans.'"
Images show U.S. BLU-91/B anti-tank land mines in a residential area of southern Iran, near ballistic missile sites. Experts confirm these mines are part of the Gator mine scattering system, unique to U.S. forces. The Iranian State News Agency reported casualties from these mines, warning civilians to avoid unusual metal objects. Central Command did not comment on the situation. The mine dispensers can release both anti-tank and antipersonnel mines, although no antipersonnel mines were confirmed in the recent imagery.
