Russian sappers will help to clear mines at the Sukhumi airport, which has been closed since the 1993 Georgian-Abkhaz war

The Russian Ministry of Defense will assist Abkhazia in clearing mines at the Sukhumi airfield, an engineer-sapper unit from the Southern Military District has already arrived in the republic.

Russian sappers will clean up the territory of the airport, which has been closed since 1993. During the Georgian-Abkhaz war in September 1993, Abkhaz troops managed to blockade the Georgian army in Sukhumi. The Georgians tried to organize the delivery of ammunition and food through the airport they controlled, but the Abkhazian artillery did not allow it, destroying five Georgian planes in the airport in three days. Since then, the airport has not been operated.

A unit from Khankala was transferred to Abkhazia. Sappers on military equipment marched to Gudauta and settled on the territory of a Russian military base. In the near future they will start cleaning the airfield from unexploded shells and mines. How long the work will take is not reported.

As explained in the Russian military department, the leadership of the republic has long been planning to restore the operation of the airport; the issue of demining this facility was raised back in 2020 during negotiations between Putin and Bzhania. Subsequently, the Abkhaz authorities turned to the Russian Ministry of Defense for help.

Demining work will begin after preparatory work. All sappers have been trained in special training centers of the Russian Ministry of Defense and have the appropriate clearance.
