NEWS CENTER_The United Nations warned of the continuing threat posed by explosive war remnants to the lives of civilians in vast areas of Afghanistan.

The UN warning came simultaneously with previous data from “Save the Children,” which documented the killing and injury of at least 338 children with disabilities due to the explosion of landmines and unexploded ordnance during the period extending between January 2025 and January 2026.

Within the framework of field efforts, the international organization announced the clearing of more than 72,000 square meters of contaminated land in the provinces of Kunduz and Baghlan. This move was implemented within a project funded by the United Nations Special Trust Fund for Afghanistan, which focused on organizing awareness campaigns for families to introduce them to the dangers of explosives and ways to prevent them.
