The explosion of a land mine remained from the Iraqi imposed war (1980s) killed and wounded three little children who were playing in Sardasht, a town in northwestern Iran.
An official in Sardasht told IRNA that the child was an eight-year-old boy.
The boy was playing with his two friends when they found a mine and started playing with it, Mir Ashkan Mahdavi said.
Because of the explosion, Mohammad Eliasi was killed on the spot and two other boys were injured, Mahdavi said.
