Landmines claim hundreds of lives in Ukraine

In the British Ministry of Defense intelligence report, it was stated that civilian casualties due to landmines continue to be experienced in Ukraine, and more than 750 mine-related casualties have been reported since the beginning of the occupation.

In the intelligence report published by the British Ministry of Defense on the Russia-Ukraine war, it was stated that the regions most affected by this situation were Kherson and Kharkiv, previously occupied by Russia and later recovered by Ukraine.

‘IT WILL TAKE AT LEAST 10 YEARS TO CLEAN UP’

“As spring arrives and more people begin to engage in agricultural activities, the risk of mine-related civilian deaths will increase,” the report says. More than 750 mine-related civilian casualties have been reported since the start of the invasion, with one child in every eight victims. It will probably take at least 10 years to clear Ukraine of mines. (DHA)
