UNMAS records 108 explosive-ordnance casualties in Sudan in first half of 2026
A UN Mine Action Service factsheet published on 1 September recorded 108 people killed or injured in 38 explosive-ordnance incidents in Sudan between January and June 2026. The April–June factsheet said the number of casualties exceeded the figure recorded over the same period in 2025.
UNMAS said that since 2023 it had released more than 4.2 million square metres of land for safe use, removed 30,698 explosive ordnance items, reached 340,136 people with explosive-ordnance risk education and briefed 3,154 aid workers. It said exposure to explosive hazards was increasing as people returned to conflict-affected areas.
The service cautioned that the actual casualty toll could be much higher because reporting capacity and mechanisms are limited; children accounted for 55% of victims whose ages were recorded. These figures cover reported incidents and are not a complete national count. The factsheet also noted newly identified minefields in central Khartoum and work to survey and clear hazardous areas.
The software testing company says it will present services combining human review with model scoring at the 26–27 October event in Dubai. Its announcement provides no independent performance results for the services.

Measurement and privacy details
Google Analytics measurement starts only if you allow it. After consent, automatic measurement may cover scrolls, outbound link clicks, downloads, video engagement, site searches and basic form interactions; search terms may be detected from URL parameters. This site’s own code does not send form field values; email redaction in automatic measurement is best-effort, not guaranteed. Our manual page-view event uses a cleaned URL. You can change your choice later. Visits that begin with consent may also send numeric LCP, INP and CLS performance measurements after Analytics loads. A first or later grant starts this on the next page load; withdrawing consent stops these performance reports for this page. The preference cookie lasts six months; advertising measurement and personalization stay off.
