In the La Mesa rural district, soldiers from Humanitarian Demining Battalion No. 7 located and carried out a controlled destruction of an anti-personnel mine, directly safeguarding the lives and well-being of nearly 100 residents in the municipality of San Rafael, Antioquia. With this operation, the total number of explosive devices neutralized in the municipality has reached 26—a milestone that signifies much more than just a number: it means lives protected, families with greater peace of mind, and communities regaining the confidence to move freely throughout their territory.
