🗞️ Weekly News Roundup
The weekly news roundup showcases a low-down of the top mine action news and insights from the past seven days.
1. EO Contamination, Clearance & Land Release
🇦🇫 Afghanistan: Saving lives in Helmand's most conflict-affected communities
In Helmand, Afghanistan, widespread landmines, IEDs, and unexploded ordnance continue to kill and injure civilians, making it the country’s most contaminated province. The HALO Trust teams clear hazards to enable safe farming and resettlement, helping displaced families rebuild livelihoods while reducing accidents and restoring security in heavily affected communities.
🇦🇿 Azerbaijan: ANAMA clears over 2,000 hectares of mine-contaminated land in one week
Azerbaijan’s National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) has released its latest report on demining operations carried out in territories liberated in Azerbaijan between 6 and 12 April. During the period, demining teams discovered and neutralised 144 anti-personnel mines, 47 anti-tank mines, and 1,661 unexploded ordnance (UXO). In total, 2,052.5 hectares of land were cleared of mines and unexploded military materials over the course of the week.
🇩🇪 🇺🇸 🌊 Germany: Trump Blasts NATO Over Hormuz—But Germany Excels at Clearing Naval Mines
While Trump’s remarks dismissed NATO’s role, Germany’s offer drew attention to an area where Berlin has deep expertise. Decades of operating in the Baltic Sea—shallow, narrow and heavily mined during both world wars—have made mine clearance a strategic necessity for Germany, which also serves as a logistics hub for NATO’s eastern flank. As many countries have scaled back their mine‑countermeasures forces, Germany has maintained frequent demining operations and a relatively robust fleet, experience that could translate directly to a complex waterway such as the Strait of Hormuz.
🇮🇷 🇺🇸 🌊 Iran: What mines has Iran laid in the strait of Hormuz and how can the US remove them?
Iran has deployed advanced naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz, including seabed and tethered types designed to evade detection. Clearance is slow and hazardous, relying on drones and helicopters. Crucially, some mines’ locations are unknown even to Iran, increasing risks and giving them lasting strategic leverage over global shipping.
🇱🇧 Lebanese army dismantles unexploded bombs amid ceasefire with Israel
The Lebanese army said on Sunday it had dismantled five unexploded aerial bombs left over from Israeli strikes in the southern suburb of Haret Hreik. A specialised unit was deployed to handle the ordnance, with three of the bombs transported for further examination, while efforts continue to relocate the remaining two. The army urged residents to avoid the affected areas and report any suspicious objects to the nearest military facility.
🇲🇲 Myanmar: Victims of Success
The discussion features Erin Hunt of Mines Action Canada, examining how the Mine Ban Treaty’s success risks complacency. Myanmar’s rising casualties reveal limits of current frameworks, while emphasizing lived expertise—especially from women and youth—and challenges from evolving conflict dynamics, non-state actors, and emerging technologies.
Mine action partners said that the lack of clearance equipment is contributing to a growing safety crisis. "Over a dozen accidents injuring more than 30 people have occurred so far in 2026," United Nations OCHA said. "Addressing that risk more meaningfully requires clearance to take critical equipment into Gaza and conduct the full range of disposal activities." Last week alone, the office said mine action teams delivered explosive-ordnance-risk education sessions to more than 12,000 people in Gaza City, Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis.
🇸🇾 🇱🇧 Syria: Displaced by Iran war: out of Lebanon, into Syrian crisis
Civilians fleeing conflict in Lebanon into Syria face severe risks from unexploded ordnance and landmines, especially in heavily contaminated border regions. Many enter unfamiliar, hazardous areas where explosive remnants remain widespread, causing deaths and injuries, particularly among children, and hindering safe movement, return, and access to livelihoods.

🇺🇦 Ukraine: Clearing the Path for the Future: Mine Action Efforts in Ukraine
In Ukraine, the impact of explosive ordnance is often seen in what can no longer happen. Fields can’t be planted, roads can’t be used, communities are unable to return home. With support from the United Nations, mine action efforts are helping to address these challenges through surveillance and clearance, risk education and technical support.
🇺🇦 Ukraine clears 572 ha of farmland in March, pays UAH 35.4 mln in compensation
Mine action operators in March 2026 cleared 572 hectares of agricultural land under the state compensation program and received UAH 35.4 million in payments, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine reported. According to the statement, six contracts were executed during the month, with the average cost of clearing one hectare amounting to UAH 59,000. In addition, under two new contracts, work was launched on more than 85 hectares through the Humanitarian Demining Center, with a total value of UAH 5.8 million.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: Government adds State Land Bank to demining program, unlocking 7,000 hectares
The government has expanded the humanitarian demining cost compensation program by adding the State Land Bank. This is a move that will enable about 7,000 hectares of state agricultural land to be put back into safe use. The changes codify a government decree that updates the mechanism for using budget funds to compensate demining costs. Previously, this mechanism was used mainly for agricultural producers and agribusinesses.
🇺🇦 Ukraine: Shell craters counted in northern Ukraine, first step to soil remediation
Scientists in northern Ukraine mapped shell craters across farmland in Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, and Zhytomyr regions to assess war damage. The data enables contamination mapping and guides soil remediation efforts. Findings show significant soil disruption, marking a crucial first step toward restoring agricultural productivity and supporting post-war recovery.
The piece explores a restricted U.S. Navy island off California used for decades as a bombing range, leaving it littered with unexploded ordnance on land and underwater. Now off-limits to the public, it highlights the long-lasting environmental and safety risks of military training sites along otherwise pristine coastlines.
🇺🇸 🌊 🐬 Send in the Mine-Clearing Dolphins
Trained U.S. Navy dolphins are being considered to help locate naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz. Using echolocation, they can identify and mark mines more effectively than some technologies. With drones also deployed, dolphins offer a complementary capability in dangerous, complex clearance operations to help restore safe maritime navigation.
🇺🇸 🌊 United States: ‘Mine clearance’: How the US Navy deals with underwater mine risks
The US Navy counters deadly sea mines using airborne lasers, Avenger-class ships, and Mk 18 Kingfish drones. By deploying $100,000 SeaFox neutralisers and Al sonar, the military safely destroys underwater explosives without risking human divers.
🇺🇸 🌊 U.S. Navy Stages for Mine Clearance as Hormuz Blockade Begins
The U.S. Navy is repositioning assets in support of upcoming mine clearance operations, moving the first two Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers into the Persian Gulf, a move that CENTCOM describes as “setting conditions for clearing mines”.
🇺🇸 🌊 United States: Can the US Navy Clean Up the Strait of Hormuz with Anti-Mine Drones?
The Navy is reportedly deploying underwater unmanned systems to help clear one of the world’s most important waterways. However, US Central Command (CENTCOM) did not specify which drones it is using in the minesweeping operation.
🇺🇸 🌊 United States: Flurry of US minesweepers head to Middle East: ‘A complex task’
The US on Monday announced that warships USS Frank E. Peterson and USS Michael Murphy will conduct an operation to clear mines laid by Iran in the Strait of Hormuz. Soon after, reports emerged that the US Navy Avenger-class USS Chief and USS Pioneer were seen leaving Singapore port towards the west.
🇺🇸 🇮🇷 🌊 United States: Trump Says US And Iran Are Working Together To Clear Mines From Hormuz Strait
In a move that could expand commercial shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, US President Donald Trump said that Iran is removing sea mines from the waterway with the help of the United States. In a post on Truth Social, Trump wrote, "Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines!"
🇾🇪 Yemen: Saudi Arabia’s Project Masam continues demining efforts in Yemen
Members of Saudi Arabia’s Masam Landmine Clearance Project - Yemen have removed 2,639 landmines and explosive remnants of war from various regions of Yemen so far in April, continuing efforts to reduce explosive threats and protect civilians in affected areas. The total included 2,502 pieces of unexploded ordnance, 116 anti-tank mines, 19 anti-personnel mines, and two improvised explosive devices, according to a recent report. During the same period, Project Masam teams cleared 500,794 sq. meters of land.
🇾🇪 Yemen: Project Masam destroys 4,199 landmines and explosive remnants of war in Yemen’s Abyan
The Masam Landmine Clearance Project - Yemen carried out a demolition operation involving 4,199 landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war in the Dofs area of Zinjibar District, in Yemen’s sourthern Abyan Governorate. Demolition is essential because it guarantees that explosive items are destroyed beyond use, preventing repurposing and removing the danger they pose to civilians.
🌊 Sea mines: the cheap, deadly Iranian weapon facing US Navy
Naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz pose a major threat to global shipping amid the US-Israel-Iran conflict. Cheap but effective, they can disrupt a significant share of global oil flows. Clearance is slow and dangerous, complicated by the fact that Iran may not know the exact locations of all deployed mines.
