Ukraine war: The deadly landmines killing hundreds – BBC News
In Ukraine an area of land that represents 174,000 square kilometres – around the size of England, Wales and Northern Ireland combined – has been contaminated by landmines.
Both Russia and Ukraine have been using these explosive devices – which can be triggered by tripwires or booby traps – during the war.
The devices are mostly concentrated in the Kharkiv region of the country and officials have said it will take decades to clear them all.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Maybe if you strip a metal detector down to search coil and electronic pcb you could fly one on a drone. If you can use a solonoid to spray a spraycan you could mark possible mines as you go. If you can use a hi-res camera on a drone with coordinates maybe you can get people online to spot the butterfly mines.

Hungary was placed on the US sanctions escalator today when a Hungarian bank with ties to Russia was sanctioned.
The US is also apparently looking to sanction individuals in the Hungarian government itself.

How many innocent civilians will be victims of these mines? The worst part about them is that years can go by and they are still there, armed and ready to detonate. Hell, they still come across live explosives from WW2.

In Myanmar, there were military junta made aerial attack to civilian yesterday and it made more than 80 people dead and injured 30 people in Pazigyi village. First, they dropped bombs with jet fighter on the public area including many children and women. Then, these children and women were dead by these bombs and some were running out then MI 35 Helicopter came and attack these frightened people with many gun shoots. How terrible case! Many civilians were killed by these MI 35 Helicopter gunshots with so many pieces of their dead bodies. Moreover, this area has not currently war crime, and they just only held the opening ceremony. How brutal dictatorship!
