Iran’s Fars news agency reports that 14 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) personnel have been killed and two others injured when unexploded ordnance detonated in the north-western Zanjan province, according to Al Jazeera.

The personnel were part of a specialised unit tasked with clearing unexploded munitions from the area, which the agency says has placed around 1,200 hectares of agricultural land at risk.
