During the operations, 82 anti-personnel mines, 74 anti-tank mines, and 517 unexploded ordnance were detected and neutralised. The clearance efforts covered a total area of approximately 1,432.8 hectares, significantly reducing the risk posed by explosive hazards in these regions.

Since the end of the 2020 conflict, landmines and unexploded ordnance have continued to endanger lives in Azerbaijan’s liberated territories.
