[REGNUM] Servicemen of the International Mine Action Center (IMC) of the Russian Armed Forces examined more than 17 hectares of territory in the village of Nakai, Khammuan Province, Lao People's Democratic Republic, and neutralized 15 ammunition. This was announced on January 31 by the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry.

According to her, most of the explosive objects found and destroyed by Russian sappers are BLU-26 and BLU-42 cluster bombs, anti-personnel mines, and unexploded artillery shells.

"Russian sappers have already carried out demining on the territory of a rural school, at the moment, work is underway to clear a section of the area in the jungle, where in the future it is planned to build social facilities and infrastructure for the local population."

Simultaneously with the work on demining the territory of Laos, carried out in accordance with the decision of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a branch of the MPC of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation operates in the republic. Since December 10, 30 Lao sappers have been trained in it.

As REGNUM reported , servicemen from the East African Republic of Djibouti will for the first time be trained at the International Mine Action Center of the RF Armed Forces, stationed in Nakhabino, Moscow Region.
