Engineering and sapper units of humanitarian demining of the Russian peacekeeping contingent continue to clear the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh from the danger of mines and explosive objects, the Russian Defense Ministry reported. 

Currently, Russian servicemen are carrying out work to search for explosive objects and unexploded ordnance on the territory of settlements and agricultural fields in the Martuni district."Today, our task is a complete cleaning of the area from EDs in the settlements of the Martuni district. We pass more than one hectare of land a day and continue our work, " said Alexey Voititsev, a soldier of the humanitarian demining group.

During the work, Russian sappers take the detected ammunition and explosive objects to a specially equipped Ballydzha landfill for subsequent destruction.

In addition, the humanitarian demining unit leaves at the request of the district administrations when explosive objects are detected by local residents.

So on a pasture for livestock, one of the local residents found an explosive object that could not be removed. Russian sappers immediately went to the place where, after examining and classifying the discovered object, it was decided to destroy it on the spot.
