The spokesperson for the Kapisa police command announced that in the past four years, nearly 40 people, including children, have been killed or injured due to explosions of landmines left over from decades of war. These incidents have occurred across various areas of the province and remain a serious threat to local residents.<\/p>\n
Abdulfattah Faiz, speaking to the media, added that recently 11 landmines were discovered and defused in different parts of Kapisa. According to him, these mines were identified and neutralized by security forces before any explosion could occur.<\/p>\n
Landmines and unexploded ordnance from past wars continue to claim victims in many provinces of Afghanistan, with children and civilians making up the majority of those affected. Experts emphasize that complete clearance of contaminated areas and widespread public awareness require organized planning and serious action from the Taliban administration and relevant authorities.<\/p>\n
Residents of Kapisa are also calling for intensified efforts to identify and clear mine-contaminated areas to prevent the recurrence of such deadly incidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
