Two Norwegian People's Aid demining workers were killed in Ukraine by Russian shelling, according to Ukrainian officials. The organization has temporarily suspended its operations in the area following the attack. Norwegian People's Aid warns that the incident highlights the increasing dangers faced by humanitarian workers in the conflict zone. Demining efforts are crucial in Ukraine due to widespread contamination from unexploded ordnance. The suspension of operations will likely hamper efforts to clear landmines and other explosives, posing a continued threat to civilians. Ukrainian authorities have condemned the attack and called for increased protection for aid workers. The incident underscores the ongoing risks associated with the war and its impact on humanitarian access.
