Counter-mining

Counter-mining refers to a military tactic used during trench warfare, where one side digs tunnels to undermine the enemy's fortifications. To counter this, the opposing side also digs their own tunnels to intercept and neutralize the threat. This process aims to prevent the enemy from causing structural damage or explosions that could weaken defenses. Essentially, counter-mining is a strategic response to underground warfare, ensuring that both sides monitor and respond to subterranean threats during conflicts.
