Russian military authorities have launched an extensive mine-clearance operation in the Kursk region, which was partially recaptured following recent military advances. The initiative, which began in March, involves the systematic removal of unexploded ordnance from areas that were previously under hostile control.
The operation is expected to be a prolonged process, with officials estimating that it could take over a year to fully secure the region. Authorities have emphasized the need for meticulous planning and specialized teams to ensure the safety of both military personnel and civilians returning to the area.
While the primary focus of the operation is safety and humanitarian concerns, it also underscores the ongoing challenges of post-conflict recovery. The Kursk region, which has seen significant military activity, remains a focal point for both defensive and offensive operations in the broader conflict.
