Since the onset of the war in Ukraine, 1,265 individuals have been affected by mines and explosive remnants, including 127 children.

This was reported by the Main Department of Mine Action, Civil Protection, and Environmental Safety via social media.

The department, acting as the secretariat of the National Mine Action Authority, monitors incidents related to explosive hazards and civilian casualties, receiving information from local government units.

As of August 6, since the full-scale invasion began, 1,265 victims have been documented, including 127 children and 1,138 adults.

The highest number of victims comes from these professions: farmers - 235, critical infrastructure workers - 137, and drivers - 88. Additionally, there are 118 students, 125 unemployed individuals, and 105 pensioners among the victims.

The collection of data is conducted systematically in line with international agreements prohibiting the use of anti-personnel mines.

Ukrainian law enforcement agencies are investigating violations of warfare regulations by Russia in connection with incidents involving detonations among the local population.

An interactive database and map assist government and humanitarian organizations in informing communities about the risks associated with explosive remnants and providing aid to those injured by mine-related incidents.
