The Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) has released data on mine clearance operations carried out in October by organizations involved in demining activities in the liberated territories.
According to ANAMA, a total of 799 anti-personnel mines, 180 anti-tank mines and 3,070 other unexploded ordnance items were detected and neutralized.
The operations covered the districts of Tartar, Aghdara, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Khojaly, Khankendi, Khojavend, Lachin, Shusha, Fuzuli, Gubadli, Jabrayil and Zangilan.
A total of 4,898.3 hectares of land were cleared of mines and other unexploded ordnance.
