DCA teams have continued the clearance of the 500m boundary around the Police station in Dafniya, to the west of Misrata. In total 4 complete ERW and 7 partial mines / fusing systems were found.
One area inside the boundary remains unsearched as the vegetation is so overgrown it makes the area too dangerous to enter. Whilst DCA has completed a visual search on this area there does remain a residual threat of items being sub-surface and further a strong possibility of ERW having been pushed mechanically into the sand berms around the town.
In total, 36 houses in Dafniya area were visited by the teams, 27 homes were either searched or declared clear. 9 remaining houses are marked with red (as dangerous), and have been stickered with the DCA / HI hotline numbers for the owners to call, if they wish them to be searched.
