07 February 2012 - UNAMID peacekeepers based in Khor Abeche, South Darfur, confirmed yesterday the presence of three unexploded ordnance (UXOs) in the vicinity. The Mission team marked the UXOs for a disposal operation that will be conducted shortly.

On 29 January, a eight-year boy was injured in the same locality with playing with an UXO.

UNAMID, with local partners, conducts regularly risk awareness raising activities throughout Darfur on the dangers of UXOs.
