In its monthly report on humanitarian demining operations, ANAMA stated that 5,336.5 hectares of land were cleared of mines and other explosive remnants of war over the course of the month.
The large-scale demining efforts were carried out jointly by ANAMA, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the State Border Service, along with four private companies.
Operations were conducted across multiple regions, including Tartar, Aghdara, Kalbajar, Aghdam, Khojaly, Khankendi, Shusha, Khojavend, Lachin, Fuzuli, Jabrayil, Gubadli, and Zangilan, as well as in the recently liberated villages of Baghanis Ayrim, Ashagi Askipara, Kheyrimli, and Gizilhajili in the Gazakh district.
The ongoing demining campaign remains a critical component of Azerbaijan’s post-conflict recovery, enabling the safe return of displaced populations and the reconstruction of affected areas.
