Iran's judiciary said that a wildfire caused by very hot weather flared for a short time on Friday in the grasslands surrounding Evin prison, detonating landmines in a security area around the facility, according to Reuters.
The judiciary's Mizan news agency reported that the fire, which lasted only "a few minutes," was immediately controlled, and no damage was caused to the prison facilities.
The agency added, "The fire spread to the protected hills around Evin Prison and caused several mines to explode."
The agency did not mention any human casualties or details about the type of landmines.
