14 Killed During Neutralization of Cluster Munitions and Unexploded Bombs
Case Study: Agricultural Risk in Zanjan Province
Officials reported that approximately 1,200 hectares of agricultural land were threatened due to unexploded munitions.
Implications for Farmers
- Inability to plow or harvest safely
- Fear of accidental detonation
- Reduced crop yields

Food Security Concerns
When large areas of farmland become unusable:
- Local food supply decreases
- Prices may rise
- Dependency on imports increases
This creates a ripple effect across the regional economy.
