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.
