@fsd.chš Since June 2022, FSD teams in #Ukraine have cleared more than 5 million mĀ² of land and provided #explosive ordnance #RiskEducation to over 580,000 people.
Our September update looks at the human #impact behind the figures, alongside operational news: fsd.ch/wp-content/u...
@fsd.chš§āš FSD is pleased to be returning to EPFL this year.
Matt Wilson, FSDās COO, gave a presentation, introducing students to #landmines, unexploded ordnance and #explosive ordnance disposal.
Thank you to the students for their interest and to the EssentialTech Center for the invitation.
@fsd.chš§ø This anti-tank #missile was found unexploded near a pastoral path in north-eastern #Afghanistan in 2019.
Some #explosive items can look like ordinary objects. In areas affected by conflict, recognising the #danger can be a matter of life and death.
@fsd.ch#Ukraineās reconstruction needs are vast. Yet contractors cannot safely begin work on sites where #explosive ordnance may be buried beneath rubble.
Clearing these hazards therefore needs to be considered as an integral part of the #reconstruction process.
@fsd.ch"Previously, we had to call in the State Emergency Service or the police. Now, we have a complete closed-loop cycle: from survey & the decision to clear an area, to the detection, identification, & disposal of #explosive ordnance," says Serhiy Kolobylin, FSD Operations Officer.

@fsd.chš¦ŗ As rehabilitation work on the BouarāBocaranga road in the #CentralAfricanRepublic continues, FSD recently delivered #RiskEducation to 175 road and maintenance workers, teaching them to recognise potential #explosive hazards and how to react #safely.
@fsd.chā½ This #submunition was found in a rice field in #Laos in 2011. It is nicknamed the 'Guava bomb' because of its shape and green colour.
For people living in areas affected by #explosive remnants of war, #danger can lurk in the places where they live, work and play.
@lmthoughts.bsky.socialJoke: A sovereign citizen failed to blow up a fire station with TNT and was arrested. In court, the #terrorist pleaded "Not Guilty" went on a big yelling tirade about being framed by big #government. The prosecutor stood up and said, "For saying you didn't do it, your reaction is quite #explosive."
