Azerbaijan faces one of the world’s most severe landmine and unexploded ordnance contamination challenges, particularly in territories reclaimed after decades of conflict. Since the 2020 war, Azerbaijan has made demining a central priority alongside the reconstruction and resettlement of the liberated territories. The Azerbaijan Mine Action Agency (ANAMA), together with international partners and humanitarian organisations, has been conducting large-scale clearance operations. According to Azerbaijani authorities, hundreds of people have been killed or injured by landmines and other explosive remnants since the 2020 war, including civilians and demining personnel.
