Demining units of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s State Special Transport Service successfully neutralized 1,405 explosive objects in the past week, June 24-30, covering 1,440.78 hectares, with the majority in the Kherson region.
Since the start of Russia’s invasion, the service has cleared 175,190 explosive items, inspecting 109,805.42 hectares of land, including water areas, railroad tracks, power and gas pipelines, residential areas, and agricultural land.
The Ministry of Defense reported that 30,000 square kilometers of liberated Ukrainian territories are now confirmed free from explosive ordnance, representing over 17% of the previously contaminated areas.
This significant effort contributes to enhancing safety and reconstruction in conflict-affected regions. The State Special Transport Service continues to play a vital role in securing and protecting communities.
