A total of 65 anti-tank mines, 204 anti-personnel mines and 745 other explosive remnants of war (ERW) were detected and neutralized in Azerbaijan’s liberated territories from Sept. 14 to 20.
According to a report by the Operative Information Center-OMM, the figures were included in the weekly update issued by the Mine Action Agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan (ANAMA) on humanitarian demining operations in the liberated territories.
The report said that 1,840.3 hectares of land were cleared of mines during the reporting period.
ANAMA, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, five local organizations and one non-governmental organization carried out demining operations in Tartar, Aghdara, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Khojaly, Khankendi, Shusha, Khojavand, Lachin, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Qubadli and Zangilan, as well as in the liberated villages of Baghanis Ayrim, Ashagi Askipara, Kheyrimli and Gizilhajili in the Gazakh district.
Humanitarian demining remains a key priority in Azerbaijan’s post-conflict reconstruction efforts, as landmines and unexploded ordnance continue to pose risks to civilians, infrastructure projects and the safe return of residents.
