Landmines are regarded as one of the most persistent and deadly threats of modern warfare and internal conflicts. Even after wars end, these hidden explosives continue to claim lives for decades, threatening not only military targets but also civilians, children, and agricultural land. Buried beneath the soil, landmines are triggered by pressure or contact and are often nearly impossible to detect. This makes daily life extremely dangerous in post-conflict regions, halting economic activity and severely hindering the reconstruction of societies.

With advances in technology, countermeasures against landmines have become more systematic and effective. Mine-clearing vehicles, armored scanning systems, advanced radar and sensor technologies, unmanned ground vehicles, and specially trained dogs are widely used in demining operations. In addition, international agreements aimed at restricting landmine use and global awareness initiatives seek to reduce their deployment. Education programs help raise awareness among civilians living in high-risk areas, while modern disposal techniques make it possible to render land safe again. Together, these measures play a critical role in reducing the humanitarian impact of landmines and working toward their complete elimination in the long term.
