Countries that have endorsed the ban on cluster munitions have a collective responsibility to end the human suffering caused by these weapons. #banclusterbombs #ISUCCM #Russia #Ukraine

Four years ago, our dear colleague and friend Brandon Pinson tragically lost his life in an accident while clearing an improvised mine in Iraq. Our thoughts are with Brandon, his loved ones, and with all those who have given their lives while making the world a safer place.

#Russia / #Ukraine 🇷🇺🇺🇦: A couple of new photos posted by a combatant of #Ukrainian Forces.

The photo shows a 155mm French CAESAR self-propelled howitzer along with LU 211 HE projectiles.
Both the howitzer and projectiles were supplied by #France 🇫🇷 in 2022.

Proud that the Austrian Armed Forces were using the excellent infrastructure at our production facility in Wiener Neustadt for training purposes! We very much value our relationship with the Theresan Military Academy.

#Sudan 🇸🇩: Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) released a video from a location in #Khartoum which claimed to be targeted by the Sudanese Forces.

The "missile" at the site seems to be an INERT (non-function) model of the BK-3 'Burkan' glide bomb —which is based on North Korean AGP-250.

Either the Sudanese Forces is converting INERT models into functional glide bombs (or markings them INERT on purpose) or the video is a very unsuccessful false flag.

Did you know residual contamination is typically explosive ordnance that has aged for many decades in the #environment? Furthering the understanding of how this ordnance ages can assist us in managing the risk of residual contamination. See our guide🔻

It takes 9-12 months to train a tuberculosis (TB) detection rat. They learn to distinguish between TB-positive & TB-negative samples. HeroRAT Kahu, receives a tasty mix of banana and avocado for correctly identifying a TB-positive sample. Find out more: https://t.co/8x7hOfSBjN

Globally, landmines and unexploded ordnance kill and maim 15 people a day - half of them children. 

After visiting our work in Iraq, @mennewsdesk have launched a campaign for support to rid the world of landmines.

Communities in Battambang province, Cambodia, are dependent on the land for their livelihood. Whilst the land is fertile, it is contaminated by landmines.

With your help, and a generous donor who matched all donations, Battambang will be a safer place.
