Is the UN website trying to be clever by saying "more than 4,850 square metres" and "Over 800 landmines were safely destroyed"? Yes, 18,000 is indeed more than 800, but that phrasing seems oddly misleading.

Perhaps the 18,000 mines and 2 million square meters were from many mine clearing missions there, of which these two fields are just a small part

I guess, I just feel the site should mention the full extent, not mention just a fraction of it
