The Enduring Threat of Unexploded Munitions
Long after a conflict ends, unexploded ordnance such as grenades and rockets remain hidden in the ground — putting communities at risk. In this video, an FSD expert explains how our teams work to locate and safely remove these deadly remnants.
OUR OPERATIONS IN UKRAINE
Since January 2025, around 650 FSD employees have been deployed in the provinces of Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Kherson. In the coming months, the focus will be on clearing land, deploying mine detection dogs and expanding risk awareness.
Do you have an eye for spotting danger?
Every year, landmines and explosive remnants of war injure thousands, often in unexpected places. Recognising the signs of danger can be lifesaving. Do you have the skills to spot hidden threats? Take our quiz and test your ability to identify explosive hazards.
